Mandrake should change their kernel installation instructions in the latest Security Advisory since they say there:
"To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate. If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package(s) from one of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm"."
Not quite... if you do Fvh... things could get real spooky. You never upgrade or freshen a kernel.. It always has to be installed (ivh ) otherwise all of the proper scripts to bind it to your computer will not get run and the end result will be...... a bit bucket.
Oh yea, foo. What he said.
Like I said in *my* original reply to the poster, use -ivh to install the new kernel and -e to remove the old one.
Quit confusing me! :-)
