dangerous as It does rpm -Uvh.
Soluce :
+ built your own kernel vanilla wich works ... So If the cooker kernel had a
pb, you will be able to boot this kernel.
install the cooker kernel via urpmi/rpmdrake.
+or take the rpm directly from the ftp site, and install them by hand with :
rpm -ivh --force kernel-headers-2.4.x-ymdk.i586.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.x-ymdk.i586.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.x-ymdk.i586.rpm
So you will be able to have several cooker kenrel at the same time.
To remove some of them :
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-2.4.x-ymdk
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-headers-2.4.x-ymdk
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-source-2.4.x-ymdk
whatever the soluce, modify lilo/grub and use the real names (
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.x-ymdk and initrd-2.4.x-ymdk.img ) instead of the symlinks.

I upgrade with urpmi/rpmdrake to cooker from a Mandrake 8.0
of course I take care of what I do, and don't upgrade everything.
