I'm urpmi --auto-selecting back to cooker after a fresh 9.1
install (urpmi urpmi first ;)
2421-3 hung for me on "Finding module deps....".
Alt-SysRq-E got it unstuck, but after several screens of mesg's
flying by it'd get to a login prompt. Any attempt to do anything
there would cause a reboot as soon as I pressed <Enter> after
typing my user name. I tried several times. I booted the 1st CD to
try a rescue, but any attempt to try and -force a reinstall of
2421-18mm (to possibly fix /boot) errored on 'db3'. I lack the
trouble shootin skills to do much more.
After the reinstall of 9.1, 2421-3 installed and booted with no
problems, tho it was a little (few seconds more'n normal) slow
getting by "Finding module deps....". I've probly got about 45mins
to go getting cooker current ... then I'll see if 2421-3 will boot
again. OTOH, I now have installin 9.1, adding cooker sources, and
gettin cooker current down to a science ;)
