It worked for me.
Yep, that's the order I did it in. I was worried I should have loaded the bootloader-utils first, since on the 'advisory' page it says: "Mandrake Linux 9.1 and 9.2 users should upgrade the initscripts (9.1) and bootloader-utils (9.2) packages prior to upgrading the kernel as they contain a fixed installkernel script that fixes instances where the loop module was not being loaded and would cause mkinitrd to fail." Love the way urpmi takes care of everything, just rebooted, reinstalled the Nvidia drivers under the new kernel, and so far smooooooth sailin'. -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "One of the most dangerous errors of our time is the belief that human beings are uniquely violent animals, barely restrained from committing atrocities on each other by the constraints of ethics, religion, and the state."-- Eric S.
