I believe that the kernel will be erased, but it's been a *long* time since I've done an upgrade - I usually do a new install to clean out the old crap, and then re-apply my customizations. However, I will assume that you will be running up2date when you're done, in which case you'll get a 2.4.9 kernel back again (actually 2.4.9-13). > I also have a soft RAID1 setup with distinct / and /usr partitions. > According to : http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55198 > the raidtool shipped with 7.2 has a bug that prevent the machine from > booting in this situation with raidtools-0.90-23.

You need to clarify if you're doing an upgrade or an install, but when I did my install, I used the installation CD without the updated raidtools, and it did install and boot properly. Why, I don't know, but the bug did not affect me. I do have separate / and /usr partitions. The install did the right thing. Of course, I did upgrade to the newest raidtools package right after the install, but I am still not sure why it worked in the first place.
