Latest Kernel not up to date?

After installing CloudLinux, I received the following error. The CloudLinux support checked out the grub config and says this is a CP issue because the kernel installed in the latest kernel. .vB I did a reboot, but this error still appears in security advisor. What to do? Russ Error reads as follows: "A newer kernel is installed, however the system has not been rebooted. running kernel: 2.6.32-531.1.2.lve1.2.54.el6, most recent installed kernel: 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6 Reboot the system in the "Graceful Server Reboot" area. Check the boot configuration in grub.conf if the new kernel is not loaded after a reboot."

  Hello :) Please let us know the output from the following command: uname -a
  Also, could you verify which version of the "Security Advisor" is installed on your system? grep "return '1." /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Security/Advisor/Assessors/Kernel.pm
  Thank you.

  Could you also let us know if this is a VPS (it might be related to an internal case)? Post the output from: cat /var/cpanel/envtype
  Thank you.

  It is a VPS and this error was not there until I installed CloudLinux. Here is what was returned standardroot@master [~]#

  Please open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look. Your warning message suggests it's related to internal case 97641, but that case is isolated to Virtuozzo VMs, which does not appear to apply to your system. You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome. Thank you.

  To update, this issue was addressed by manually forcing an update of the /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Security/Advisor/Assessors/Kernel.pm file. Thank you.

  Sorry for hijacking this thread. But i think a explanation on what you modified in /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Security/Advisor/Assessors/Kernel.pm file will make more sense :) For me its: SSH direct root logins are permitted. Manually edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change PermitRootLogin to "no", then restart SSH in the "Restart SSH" area
  I have edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change PermitRootLogin to "no" and restarted SSH. But the warning still shows up. Went into /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Security/Advisor/Assessors/SSH.pm and found the below code which is related to my issue. if ( $sshd_config->{'PermitRootLogin'} =~ m/yes/i || !$sshd_config->{'PermitRootLogin'} ) { $self->add_bad_advice( 'text' => ['SSH direct root logins are permitted.">, 'suggestion' => [ 'Manually edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change PermitRootLogin to "no", then restart SSH in the "[output,url,_1,Restart SSH,_2,_3]" area', $self->base_path('scripts/ressshd'), 'target', '_blank' ], ); } else { $self->add_good_advice( 'text' => ['SSH direct root logins are disabled.">, );
  Any suggestion?

  Hello :) Internal case number 110893 is open to address an issue where Security Advisor reports $latest_kernel based on build date rather than the version number. There is currently no specific time frame available on a resolution, but you can monitor changes to "Security Advisor" at:
