no,
not a fluke, upgrade "should" work..
The

Package Manager works just fine. BUT: After upgrading a kernel, you need
to go in and fix /boot. Package Managere doesn't do that, and it will
leave you pretty much broken.
Once you've fixed /boot, check /etc/lilo.conf for validity, and then run
lilo to set the changes. Your next reboot
