I went to 2.4.8-12mdk last night on a ReiserFS machine without any
problems. (I did reserve a ext2 /boot partition originally though...)

|I did the same thing, and noticed that the links weren't 
|updated.  I don't think that has anything to do with the 
|software manager, but who knows.  All I know is that when I 
|updated with these RPMs, my system would not boot (see the 
|archives with my posts in the last week or so). This is 
|because I'm using Reiserfs, and the RPMs really screwed 
|something up.  I think they messed with one of the boot 
|scripts, because going back to the original Mandrake 8.0 2.4.3 
|RPMs did not fix the problem.  Unfortunately I haven't gotten 
|very far on this list with figuring out what it broke and how 
|to fix it.  Through a very painful process I ended up getting 
|back on my feet by compiling 2.4.9 from source.  I'm never 
|going to use RPMs to update the kernel again.
|
|I probably could have avoided some of the pain by following 
|the instructions and not using MandrakeUpdate, but who knows.
