I updated the Kernel using up2date and now my machine doesn't get 
past "starting linux."  

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
(since my machine is now dead, I can't reproduce it.)

This is a problem in up2date

Comment 2 Jonathan J. Miner 2001-02-13 20:16:45 UTC

Actually, what happened was that up2date did an upgrade so the old kernel was 
deleted, and didn't create a ramdisk or update lilo.

Of course, it is my fault for doing this and not paying attention to these 
issues, but if it's going to be available via up2date, there should be some 
warning.

Comment 3 Michael K. Johnson 2001-02-14 00:31:17 UTC

It's available via up2date so that those who download via up2date without
doing an upgrade can get it.
