another hard drive and transferred file to that, now unless
someone can tell me a better way all I know is to re-install and
start over. That server has been running for a year or more
without a problem, usually it's just there, only shut down in a
power outage and then always restarted without a problem..

I'm using SL5.8
After a short shutdown today the machine came up with kernel panic (can't find
root).
It turned out my kernel panic was self inflicted. Apparently I
shut down before an update finished. To add to the confusion the
opening screen does not show the alternate kernels you may boot
to. Once I figured that out I was able to boot to an earlier
version and remove and replace the damaged kernel, all is well now.
I did notice that the yum install of the kernel seemed to take
longer than usual but it did complete eventually?
