From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) 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
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.
It's available via up2date so that those who download via up2date without doing an upgrade can get it.
