Earlier today I downloaded _again_ 'kernel-2.2.17-21mdk.i586.rpm'.

I rebooted and as root used kpackage to install the rpm package.

Everything _appeared_ to run normally except for a message saying
'Execution of script failed', What script failed? Where can I go
to view said script to locate the source or reason for the failure?

The kernel is there, the system boots ok, there don't appear to be
any errors in dmesg or in /var/log/message, however I'm intrigued
by the content of my /boot directory, as follows:

total 1703
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root   1024 Nov 16 15:49 ./
drwxr-xr-x  20 root root   4096 Nov 11 22:53 ../

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     10 Nov 16 15:44 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz--a

-rw-r--r--   1 root root 615960 Jan  5  2000 vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 665029 Oct  6 00:24 vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk
-rw-r--r--   1 root root      0 Nov 16 15:43 vmlinuz.old

What intrigues is that;
a) System.map is linked to System.map--a _but_ System.map--a doesn't
   appear in the listing - why? Where is it?
b) module-info appears to be still linked to the 2.2.14 modules - why?
   How do I or do I need to regenerate module-info??

Cheers
