How to know my Kernel type ?

[1o1]

Hello everyone

 

 

I have install Leopard in HP Desktop and everything is working fine (sort of )

 

My only issue is that everytime I reboot the desktop it will keep rebooting and I can only boot with a kernel called "update"

 

if I try to boot with vanillakernel it will just display some text and reboot (very fast, I can't even read what is the error)

 

so my question is how can I know what type of kernel is this (update), is is vanilla ?

 

also anyone can help me to boot to vanilla ?

 

 

Thanks

 

Yes also here is my OS information
