[newbie] Upgrading kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm problem
Hello, gurus! I am using Mandrake 8.1 and I just downloaded the kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm and iptables-1.2.4-2mdk.i586.rpm available in the speakeasy.rpmfind.net site. I tried to install the new kernel and iptables using the commands of: # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm and # rpm -Uvh iptables-1.2.4-2mdk.i586.rpm and vice versa but I wasn't able to install those packages. It depends to one another. So I decided to open my kongueror browser and click the kernel first and automatically installed it using RPM Software Manager. And I was asked if I'll forcely install it and I clicked the YES button. And when it was successfully installed, I also clicked to install the iptables package. After I successfully installed the two packages, I reboot my system. And it all started my problem. I wasn't able to enter my Mandrake system. What shall I do? Please help me... Thanks in advance.

I'm no guru. In a situation where I have something which depends on another and vice versa I put them all into an empty dir and use # rpm -Uvh * This seems to work well. rgds max Hello, gurus!
