    Code:
    uname -r
    will give you the kernel version. As for the update, have you tried through urpmi? You could also check the mandriva ftp site. They may possibly have one there.

    As a last resort...you could compile your own!

    Or simply "urpmi kernel".
    That has to be specifically asked since that's a fundamental change.

    Note that all kernel modules will be (or have to have been ? I have a doubt ! ) removed, which may complicate things for you... I believe graphic drivers being a kernel module, they'll have to be reinstalled, be prepared.
