Umm...if you select the Kernel in Mandrake Update and read the comments...it
actually says "Don't use Mandrake Update to do this" (or words to that effect)
in short
Updating kernel automatically bad
Installing Kernel side-by-side with existing kernel, then checking lilo &
initrd before rebooting good
