I installed the same packages yesterday from mcc. It worked fine. I rebooted to the new kernel, which was called 2422-21, then edited /etc/lilo.conf to make it the default and ran lilo. A subsiquent reboot worked fine. At some point I'll have to re-install the Nvidia drivers, but I haven't had them in since upgrading to 9.2. If I had I'd have removed them before installing -21. -- Richard Urwin
