Folks,
Here's another fun one.
I made the mistake of letting YOU run "hands free". Among other things, it installed the 2.4.199 kernel. This broke several things on my system. Is there any reasonable way to "downgrade" to 2.4.166? I tried just booting the alternate kernel, and got a panic of not being able to mount the root OS.
I'm guessing the answer is No, but thought I'd check.
Yes, of course you can. Just grab the 2.4.21-166 rpm from somewhere and "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage" it. Two points though, if it really did break things, you should report it to suse (or to this list) with more details on the error message, and secondly, I believe the current version in update is 2.4.21-202, so maybe whatever problem you have is already fixed?!
