RE: [Cooker] Mandrake Updates
quick question. If I want to upgrade the kernel to 2.2.16, where do I go? In cooker there is the 2.2.17. In the update directories I see the 2.2.16-9, though I read in the list about the 2.2.16-10. Where do I get that?

My machine couldn't mount the root file system after the update. Of course, I know this is what I get for trying our reiserfs without fully knowing what I am doing. Pat

Let me see if I understand this. The reason that I can't do a mkinitrd after
I upgrade to 2.2.16 is that loop.o is not already in memory before the
upgrade?
If I insmod this and then do a "rpm -U" on the new kernel package,
everything will be ok? Will loop.o still exist (and be usable) in my modules
in the 2.2.16?

I had the same problem- use the '--force' option.

The Update does not appear to work correctly when upgrading the kernel with
reiserfs. Mandrake's webpage has directions that need to be followed when
performing the 2.2.16 kernel upgrade; however, before installing those rpms, load
the loopback module ('insmod loop.o'). Else the file itself will be removed using
the '-U' option or you will not be able to mkinitrd.
