thanks Anne, already done that by the time my post went out.

system's been running on the 2.4.21-0.18mdk kernel ever since, so everything
seems fine.

but i'm just wondering if i messed up on installation, or if a couple of
install scripts mess up, which is a pretty terrible thing considering it's a
official kernel security update rpm.
