Red Hat just released the new Kernel Upgrade for Psyche, so to keep
my box with the good 'ole green check, I just had to apply them!
Instead of using the default Grub boot loader, I use the lilo boot
loader.
During the upgrade of my packages, I received an error about Grub
(which I'm not using), and then when I went to investigate after the
installation completed, I discovered that the lilo Configuration file
had lost my Linux entry!
So, if I would have rebooted, I wouldn't have been able to select
Linux to boot -- and I would have been stuck using some other O/S!
(Of course, I have emergency boot floppies and plenty of other methods
of recovering, but still....)
If you're in the same situation, be sure to fix your lilo configuration
and re-run lilo once you have completed the upgrade of the Kernel pkg!
Regards,
Chuck
