Naturally we have people still on 8.0 who use mandrakeUpdate/SoftWare Manager to update the update kernels, and we have had several folks who ran Software Manager for 8.1 and did multiple updates in one session who managed to get the effect of and rpm -Uvh on the kernel update package. Here is what to tell them: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1. Open a terminal and get the installed kernel version number with $ uname -a 2. su to root 3. issue this command # rpm -e kernel-(version number from the uname output) 4. Put in the install CD and # reboot 5. Tick the "expert" mode and click the right-hand "Update" button on class of install. >(Yes, some people could not find it because they expected the right -hand button to be "Cancel" and did not read it.)< 6. Let the installer fuss and cluck til it figures out that all it has to do is install the kernel. Pass package selection and go to individual packaghe selection. Use the two-blue-arrow symbol at the bottom to toggle to the flat list and scroll down to the k's and check to assure the kernel is checked to be installed. 7. If you tried to restore connectivity by running network when you had troubles, reinstall your network, otherwise, you can leave it alone. 8. Fine-tune your X install if you like 9. Kill the "old_" packages offered by the bootloader. 10. Now, after your system comes back up, _download_ the kernel update and install it as root in a terminal with rpm -ivh kernel-(number of the update kernel)[TAB][enter] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I don't know if we should consider this for the errata pages but I have had a flood of these complaints recently.
