First... did you make a floppy boot disk. Those things
are good things to have!
There appears to be a problem upgrading the kernel,
esp from Mandrake Update using rpmdrake. It is not
properly creating an initrd.img link and there can be
other problems found in the /boot directory. Here is
how I have worked around it.

as root go to /usr/src/linux (as long as it is linked
to a 2.4 kernel)
type "make install" without quotes. When it has been
completed (it will take a while), type "lilo" and make
sure your linux kernel made it successfully. You
should be able to reboot fine now.
