I did the upgrade procedure from the terminal to install 3.7.10-antix.7-amd64-smp and I verified with synaptic that I have it, but my system is not using it. Instead, uname - r shows 3.7.10-antix.4-amd64-smp. I started with antiX 13.1 and reviewed and followed all indications for the 13.2 upgrade.
I have two physical hard disks, one for Windows 7 (sda), and the second (sdb) for Linux,in which I have PCLOS KDE in a partition and antiX in another. AntiX was the last OS installed.
I use grub2 from PCLOS with and entries for Windows, PCLOS and antiX. For this reason I didn't apply grup-update in antiX.
What should I do to make my antiX use kernel 3.7.10-antix.7-amd64-smp?

you need to run update-grub from the root command line, which should update your grub menu.lst with new entries. The default kernel will remain the same, but new options will be available in the menu. YOu can then edit menu.lst to change the default if you wish.

dolphin_oracle, thank you for your post. I did update-grub in antiX and the new entry for the latest kernel was identified, but it wasn't shown in the grub2 entries of PCLOS, which handles the three OS that I have. I tried update-grub from root terminal in PCLOS but this order was not recognized. I think that I have to do some google research to find out which is the equivalent command for grub2.
P.S.. I ran a utility to redo MBR in PCLOS and the updated entry for antiX is now shown in my grub2 menu!

i didn't catch that, even though you said it... __{{emoticon}}__

backup your grub.cfg and try this

Code: Select all

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
from your pclos install.


***edit*** and I was typing while you did your edit! Great!, and thanks for posting your solution!

dolphin_oracle: thank you for your indications, showing how to do it from the terminal. I will keep them for my Linux notes!
