HI Patti,
The hard drive is IDE. I think the problem happened when I downloaded too
many rpms related
to various kernels. And, I was using Lilo rather than Grub. To correct this,
I fired Lilo ,
installed Grub, and removed the Linux 2.2.15 folder. Then I installed the
kernel, document and header files.
Everything is working fine.
Thanks for the link. It helped.

Roman -- What type of hard drive do you have? Is is IDE or SCSI? If it is
SCSI then you need to append additional information into Lilo or Grub and
you also have to make an initrd file for the new kernel. I just upgraded my
kernel to 2.2.16 -- the first time I did it I couldn't bring Linux up, the
kernel panicked <giggle> Go to
http://mandrakeuser.org/install/kupgrade2.html and follow his instructions,
it works like a charm.
I hope this is what you were looking for and that it helps you.
