Do I run the new(est) kernel? (after upgrade errors)

Hi there,

I updated linux-image-amd64 to 4.9.0-7 - at least I think, I did this, based on this log:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-amd64
...
Setting up linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64 (4.9.110-1) ...
I: /vmlinuz is now a symlink to boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-7-amd64
I: /initrd.img is now a symlink to boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-7-amd64
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-7-amd64
Setting up linux-image-amd64 (4.9+80+deb9u5) ...
$

But uname keeps telling me this

$ uname -a
Linux vmq4os27 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I experienced the same problem while updating as before (cf Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)) and used the same procedere to solve the problem. update-grub told me this

$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-7-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-7-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-6-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-6-amd64
done
$

Is there / should there be a new kernel?

Any help will be highly appreciated

Have you re-booted the machine?

Re: Do I run the new(est) kernel? (after upgrade errors)

Good morning. Ok, I violated two rules:
1. reboot after kernel update
2. sleep one night about it

Thanks for your help. You're marvelous!

After rebooting:

$ uname -a
Linux vmq4os27 4.9.0-7-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-1 (2018-07-05) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Many thanks for helping a "newbie" roll

Usually when updating the kernel apt/apt-get/synaptic will take care of everything and you will simply need to reboot after the update to have everything running with new one, and you are welcome smile
