Anders,
Yes, of course you can. Just grab the 2.4.21-166 rpm from somewhere and "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage" it.
Hmmm. No good. The RPM did not update the /boot directory -- meaning that it wouldn't have booted, had I proceeded.
I beg your pardon? I've installed several dozen suse kernel rpms, and I've never seen one yet that didn't update /boot. Is /boot on a separate partition, and was in mounted when you installed the rpm?
Better stick with something that at least boots.
I thought you said you had run 2.4.21-166 before and it worked?!
