[newbie] Updating the kernel

[Anonymous]

Hi
>I updated the kernel to 2.2.9-27, lilo, and the initscripts with the files
>provided in mandrake's FTP, the unmounting problem seems to be solved, but
>in it's place the network was unusable, the Ethernet card was correctly
>initialized by the kernel but for an unknown reason there was no network.
>And another strange thing is that after the upgrade, X wont start
>automatically.... It's because the initscripts? Should I not upgrade them?
>Thanks
