So back to the unanswered emails... Was any solution ever given, for someone that updated via YAST2, to get their machine to boot again after the wonderful kernel update ? "We F***ed up" is fine to say, but now...how do I get it working again, or does the old (without the required security) kernel need to be re-installed and the update lists ignored ? After the kernel update a pretty vanilla 9.1, adaptec 29160, 18G IBM disk, with a 1GHz Athlon won't even see the scsi disk! If I re-install from scratch it works, so I know the hardware is working. What gives ? - Bill
