Sorry for the late answer Frank - I'm very behind with the mail. Hopefully there have been other responses that I have missed, but in case you are still waiting....
This is usually a result of upgrading the kernel rather than installing it alongside the old one. Some links get screwed up in /boot and things no longer match. (so much for the technical explanation ;-) The easiest way out if you are not happy configuring things in the CLI is to boot with the first install CD, choose expert mode and select upgrade. Choose no new packages, and run through a quick install. This won't delete any data and will get you a bootable system albeit with the original kernel in place. To install a new kernel, download the rpm, become root and use the: rpm -ivh kernel-xyz-123.rpm approach. HTH Brian On Fri, 2002-04-19 at 12:16, F.
