Duely noted. Although I may end up flogging myself for this one. I can't
mount the CD-ROM device with the currently-installed kernel (trying to do
so results in a "fs type iso9660 not supported by kernel" message). I
think I may now be Officially Hosed, and I'm going to have to re-install
from scratch. Drat it all, anyway.
You can *bet* I won't ever forget your advise about not using
MandrakeUpdate to install a new kernel.

Will do, once I get the original system reinstalled.

Out of curiosity, how does depmod know which kernel is in use, once the new
one is online? Does it just determine based on what you booted with?
Something else?
Thanks for the reply!
