If the new kernel was installed as part of the normal, say, YOU update then when yo boot there should be an entry in the grub menu along the lines of "Previous Kernel" so select this entry to boot with the old kernel.

I'm not sure this is true anymore (if ever). I'm running a YOU updated kernel
2.6.16.21-0.13-smp
and there are no previous kernels in my /boot
Would be a nice feechur......
Oh :-( . I am using the smart updater and the old kernel was not removed. I have an entry for it in the grub menu when I boot. "Assumption is the mother of all cockups", and I assumed that YOU/zmd/carpet/whatever did what smart does. Sorry. I am running the default kernel and it is marked as "multi-version" and I understand that if it marked this way smart will not zap it when upgrading the kernel. The smp kernel kernel is also multi-version- I just checked. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
