[SOLVED] Change from linux-lts to latest linux

Hello.

I want to change from the lts kernel to the latest kernel yet, when I type

# pacman -S linux linux-headers

It seems to install the latest kernel but when I reboot and I type:

$ uname -a

I get this:

Linux oblivion 3.14.29-1-lts #1 SMP Fri Jan 16 20:57:17 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Wich means I'm still using the lts kernel, how can I start using the latest kernel? I don't need the lts anymore.

You have to change your bootloader to point to the regular kernel.  You can have many kernels installed, the bootloader determines which is booted.

That's right! Changing the contents of the syslinux.cfg file solved this issue; I've also created an entry for the LTS kernel down that one, just in case I have hardware problems again.

Thank you very much!
