Again, you need to have the kernel-devel package installed for your running kernel (kernel-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5). You are running:

[root@call dahdi]# uname -ra
Linux call.tele 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5

You don't have the kernel-devel package installed for your running kernel.

rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5.go
kernel-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5
kernel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5.go
kernel-headers-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5
kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5.go

Reboot your server to run the latest kernel version installed in your server.

Run this again:

uname -ra>

Make sure you have the kernel-devel or kernel-PAE-devel package installed for your running kernel.

After reboot my server still runs old kernel do you know the reason why?
[root@call ~]# reboot

[root@call ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5.go
kernel-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5
kernel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5.go
kernel-headers-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5
kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5.go

[root@call dahdi]# uname -ra
Linux call.tele 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5

[root@call ~]# rm /var/cache/yum/goautodial-* -rf

yum install kernel*
reboot

On reboot you can choose what kernel to run. Just press the up or down key when you are at the welcome screen. Make sure to choose: kernel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5.go.

Unfortunatelly it's an issue I can't solve since my VPS provider just informed following:

######################################################
Changing a kernel will not change or update your OS

If your desired kernel is not listed please add it as a suggestion on our user voice forum, stating the linux distribution, the version requested, and the feature it has that you are in need of. http://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocean

The "DO-recovery" kernels are intended for use after instructed in a Support Ticket.

Could you kindly suggest an alternative VPS provider?

What are you trying to achieve? Most VPS are quite restrictive. Why not just get dedicated servers?

I also encountered the same problem before, I suggest you switch to replace the existing server machine for nearly a year.
