Today I used red carpet to update my SuSE9.1/KDE3.3. That resulted in a
reboot that turned into a loop. The login screen showed SuSE9.0 and
wouldnt let me login as user OR root.

I had to boot with the rescue disk, go into INIT 3 and using yast,
reinstall kde3. All my sources are for 9.1 so I dont know where or how it
got me into 9.0 login screen.

Interestingly, it killed my networking ability until I did the reinstall
from the cd's. Has anyone else had a similar problem? My current
solution is to get rid of red carpet and use Yast & apt exclusively.
