I really wish people would actually READ the update notice... the most
important parts:

======

NOTE: This update is *not* meant to be done via MandrakeUpdate!  You
 must download the necessary RPMs and upgrade manually by following
 these steps:

   1. Type: rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.7-12.3mdk.i586.rpm
   2. Type: mv kernel-2.4.7-12.3mdk.i586.rpm /tmp
   3. Type: rpm -Fvh *.rpm
   4. You may wish to edit /etc/lilo.conf to ensure a new entry is in
      place.  The new kernel will be the last entry.  Change any options
      you need to change.
   5. Type: /sbin/lilo -v

 You may then reboot and use the nwe kernel and remove the older kernel
 when you are comfortable using the upgraded one.
