This is the error I get: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c88ea000
(....) This normally occurs if you installed a wrong kernel, or installed it the wrong way. Make sure you got the right kernel. I had troubles with default kernel (pentium optimized) installing on an Athlon, though other guys reported that this would not be a problem. Since your box is not booting in the moment, boot from CD and run the rescue system. Install a kernel from this CD to get your system back working. Then, the next step is to install the desired kernel. I repeat a message from some weeks ago: For kernel update stick to the sdb-article 'ftpkernel'. IN short, it's like that: 1. Download new kernel, as an rpm. 2. Backup your old kernel: # cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old and # cp /boot/initrd /boot/initrd.old 3. Install new kernel: # rpm -Uhv k_deflt.rpm 4. Create new ramdisk: # mk_initrd 5. rerun lilo: # lilo Next reboot, your new kernel is present. Worked exactly like that for my update on 2.4.7 Cheers ....
