First of all, fedora-release should say you have Fedora Core release 5; since you have FC5 kernels, it appears the upgrade to FC5 did work to an extent, so run the following:output of
cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)
what is output of
# grep kernel /boot/grub/grub.conf
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp ro

Please inform if the update is allright
Thanks

Hello everyone,----
I upgraded my fc4 to fc5 using the folllowing commands.
# yum upgrade 2>&1 | tee /tmp/yum_upgrade
# yum -y upgrade
#reboot
It said process is complete ( It took 4 to 5 hrs). Now after rebbot ,
i get 4 choices namely
1 FC4 2.11.6... smp
2 FC4 2.11.6...
3 FC4....
4 FC4 up...
Which one shall i choose to boot?
( by default it chose the first option)
3 and 4 were present before. 1 and 2 have appeared newly.
Please let me know the significance of these options.
Is there any way to change boot options so that only required
things appear.
none of that sounds right at all...
what is output of
cat /etc/fedora-release
what is output of
# grep kernel /boot/grub/grub.conf

(one line)
This should update fedora-release to say the right version. Assuming you're using i386; substitute appropriate arch if otherwise.
As for the boot entries:
The first two are the new 2.6.16 kernel installed for FC5. If those work, you should use them. The first one is SMP (symmetric multi-processor), the second is UP (uni-processor); if you have a dual core or Pentium with hyper-threading, that's why it installed SMP, and using that kernel will take the most advantage of the dual-processing ability. UP should work fine as well.
You can uninstall kernels you don't wish to use with yum; however, if you don't have a space issue, it is best to keep several versions in case an update goes bad. If you don't want them to show up in the bootloader, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf with your favorite text editor, and put a # at the beginning of each group of lines, such as:
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.img
#title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
# initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
(don't change anything other than adding # for commenting, this is just an example from my grub.conf, with two entries, the first one will show up and the second won't)
