Here too. I just installed the new kernel yesterday morning when I had to boot after a power outage. I didn't even think to check until just now. There are a lot of differences versus the previous; kernel-2.4.21.0.22mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm that I was using. > > <COPY> > Situation: > I upgraded to the latest kernel for LM 9.1, downloaded from > ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.1/RPMS. > After checking gpg and md5 (rpm -K), I installed > kernel-2.4.21.0.24mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm (rpm -iv), > kernel-source-2.4.21-0.24mdk.i586.rpm (rpm -iv --oldpackage) and > freshened kernel-doc-2.4.21-0.24mdk.i586.rpm (rpm -Fv).

There's a *lot* of files that weren't writable that are now. 8.5 kB to be exact. I do believe I'm going to boot back to .22mdk. Or .18mdk. At least until somebody figures this out. Let me know what, and where, to send diffs etc., I think investigating this is probably more important at the moment than installing 9.2beta1; which is what I had planned for this afternoon.
