I just installed kernel 2.4.8-31.2 to upgrade from 2.4.3-20. Later. I tried 
to install kernel 2.4.17.1-1 which did not install, because of failed 
dependencies. 

On reboot, I noticed a few error messages during boot-up. I wonder what they 
mean, and whether they're serious:


        Change_root: old root has d_count= 2
        Trying to unmount old root  . . . <3>error -16
        Change root to /initrd: error -2


Everything seems to be working OK with the 2.4.8-31.2 kernel. I'm 
wondering whether these error messages were generated by the .17 kernel?

Is there any possibility that the attempt to install the .17 kernel has left 
a "residue" that is messing something up? Do I need to "uninstall" it, even 
though it was never really "installed". If the .17 kernel attempt did 
interfere with the .8 kernel, should I uninstall & re-install it? What would 
the command be to uninstall?

I'm rather new at kernel installation. In hindsight, I probably 
shouldn't have messed with the .17 kernel.

Tia for any assistance on this,
Regards,
Andre
