As far as I know, you've done the ONLY upgrade that is *NOT* recommended

You have to download it and install using rpm -ivh kernel.rpm
I've done this way and it was just perfect!
There was indeed a warning email from mandrake for not using the MU for
kernel upgrading.
I don't know about the kernel-headers and source

Sorry if this has already been asked!
I'm installing MDK 8.1 mainly to act as a server for my ADSL connection
here in the UK. I've managed to get it running and was happy till I
tried to do the mandrake updates. One of them is a kernel update which I
thought Hmm looks important better do it 20mins later 1 reboot and hang
on whats going on??? nothing is working!!! wargh!!
Now 3 rebuilds later (ok so I don't learn I thought it was something I'd
done) still no joy. Have I missed something stupidly simple or is this a
bug with MU???
Many Thanks
Rob K

Here is what I just sent to several departments
Naturally we have people still on 8.0 who use mandrakeUpdate/SoftWare
Manager
to update the update kernels, and we have had several folks who ran
Software
Manager for 8.1 and did multiple updates in one session who managed to get
the effect of and rpm -Uvh on the kernel update package.
Here is what to tell them:
1. Open a terminal and get the installed kernel version number with
$ uname -a
2. su to root
3. issue this command
# rpm -e kernel-(version number from the uname output)
4. Put in the install CD and
# reboot
5. Tick the expert mode and click the right-hand Update button on
class
of install. (Yes, some people could not find it because they expected the
right -hand button to be Cancel and did not read it.)
6. Let the installer fuss and cluck til it figures out that all it has
to do
is install the kernel. Pass package selection and go to individual
packaghe
selection. Use the two-blue-arrow symbol at the bottom to toggle to the
flat
list and scroll down to the k's and check to assure the kernel is
checked to
be installed.
7. If you tried to restore connectivity by running network when you had
troubles, reinstall your network, otherwise, you can leave it alone.
8. Fine-tune your X install if you like
9. Kill the old_ packages offered by the bootloader.
10. Now, after your system comes back up, _download_ the kernel update and
install it as root in a terminal with
rpm -ivh kernel-(number of the update kernel)[TAB][enter]
I don't know if we should consider this for the errata pages but I have
had a
flood of these complaints recently.
