Up until quite recently, I had a pristine new install of 6.1 on an
(almost) brand new PC.
Having got everything up and running, I clicked on the "Updates"
desktop icon. To my delight, it went off and found me some new
versions of stuff. I clicked "select all" and then clicked "Go!".
One of the updates was the 2.2.13-22mdk kernel. Now my machine won't
boot properly. I've amended /etc/lilo.conf to point at the new kernel
image, and run /sbin/lilo to update everything. When I re-boot, the
machine gets as far as the "finding module dependencies" bit, then
hangs. I can CTRL-C to continue booting up, but then I have no
network card, no sound and no access to any of my non-Linux
filesystems.
I promise that if someone can help me get this fixed, I won't
recklessly apply OS updates ever again without checking the
documentation and/or making backups first!!!
