1)
On booting it automatically selects "CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5vm)". I have to manually select "CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5)" which I suppose is latest version of kernel on CentOS 5.

Whether I have to change "default=1" to "default=0" to boot kernel "CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5)" automatically ?


2)
On booting kernel "CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5)" following warning popup on text scrolling
Code:
Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x1
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x2
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x3
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
.......
CentOS 5 starts finally w/o problem


3)
On booting kernel "CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5vm)" following warning popup on text scrolling;
Code:
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x1
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x2
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x3
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
.......
CentOS 5 starts finally w/o problem


Please advise how to fix the warning on 2) and 3) abvoe. TIA

Hi,
Answer #1:

To make 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 default kernel, change
Code:
default=0
Answer #2: The warnings appear probably because you have not enabled ACPI in BIOS.
