Are you running Lilo or Grub? If you did an upgrade as opposed to a fresh install, it will keep Lilo, where a fresh install auto chooses Grub, unless told otherwise. I am not sure, but if it is Lilo, you may have to run the lilo command to load it all. Please verify this, as I am rather a bit of a newbie, and I have enough people mad at me as is!
