Thank you! An answer I can reply happily with / to, rather than thinking that, unlike what the website says, this group is not so helpful.
If I am on the alpha program, why am I on 3.7x rather than 3.8x?
$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 16 16:22:52 UTC 2013 x86_64
nobody knows why you do not update your kernel 3.7.x is old, EOL and lacking a lot of security fixes 3.8.x is in the stable repos for any supported release
3.8.8-203.fc18.x86_64 3.8.8-102.fc17.x86_64 3.9.0-0.rc8.git0.2.fc19.x86_64
and if you updated you kernel / OS it is most likely in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and by whatever error not as default
there is a line like set default="0" which can be modified or simply after select the newest kernel at boot a "yum reinstall kernel" after make sure the newest one works will remove any other kernel and with the next update all should be fine again, or simply use grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cf to re-generate the grub-config, at the begin without the -o param to take a look what would happen
but you can for sure select the kernel at boot
thanks to people who still thinks it is a good idea to hide the alternate kernels in the grub menu as default and force users to take action by pressing keys at the grub-stage of boot
hence to not use linux alpha-releases if you are not firm with these things!
