Finally got updates working with 10.0 Official. I see a completely different list of mirrors now in Mandrake Update, so I guess they've finally straightened that mess out.
I updated my kernel from 2.6.3.7 to 2.6.3.9: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi.update -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi kernel-2.6.3.9mdk-1-1mdk [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# lilo -v Now I have some questions. I have the following in /boot after the update: ... config -> config-2.6.3-7mdk config-2.6.3-7mdk config-2.6.3-9mdk ... initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img initrd-2.6.3-9mdk.img initrd.img -> initrd-2.6.3-9mdk.img kernel.h -> /boot/kernel.h-2.6.3-7mdk kernel.h-2.6.3-7mdk ... System.map -> System.map-2.6.3-7mdk System.map-2.6.3-7mdk System.map-2.6.3-9mdk ... vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.3-9mdk vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk vmlinuz-2.6.3-9mdk You can see that the initrd.img and vmlinuz links have been updated. But config and System.map still point to the old files, even though new ones have been installed. Also, kernel.h doesn't even have a new version. Now being my first kernel upgrade, and not knowing exactly what role these different files play, these inconsistencies scare me. What do the config and System.map files do? Why do I not have an updated kernel.h? Most importantly, is it safe to boot up to this new kernel with this configuration? Any experienced kernel upgraders out there who can help me out? -- Ron Hunter-Duvar ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
