I had installed the updated kernel so I had to reboot. Using Grub for the bootloader. I got an error 13, no file found on both the original kernel and the new kernel and the failsafe. I tried everything and finaly just did an update version from the install. Now I am not sure if the machine will reboot or not. I checked and all the files are in boot for both kernels. Grub points to them so what is wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? I am using an AMD 850Mhz, 2 western digital harddrives, 1 cd rom and 1 cd burner, a USB zip 250, which all showed up right and I can access all of them. Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Maureen The invalid key entry was not a problem with the packages, but you did not have the Mandrake Security Team key in your keyring. urpmi automatically adds the key when you set up a urpmi source, but you have to add it manually if you don't use urpmi. If you download the updates to a local source, also include the ../base directory, because that includes the key and then you can just use urpmi.addmedia urpmi.addmedia --update updates file://path/to/updates with ../base/hdlist.cz Now keep the local directory synched with a mirror and periodically run 'urpmi.update --update urpmi --auto-select --update' I am not sure about the boot problem, I'd like to see your /boot/grub/menu.lst and the contents of your /boot directory. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
