After installation and reboot I got the following error message.....

--System halted ... sort out my machine by starting the rescue system. I found that the option "boot installed system" allowed me to get into my system and I am now using it to send this mail to you. Perhaps I can just remove the k_deflt.rpm k_eide.rpm and the k_i386.rpm. That will solve the problem ????
The problem is likely caused by a erroneous lilo installation. After updating the packages you should have startet Yast and select the kernel to boot. After that, LILO would have been run automatically which was neccessary, because LILO cannot go on with a new kernel without beeing run again. So, if you can get into your system, you might just type (as root) yast --mask kernel --autoexit which brings you to the kernel-menue automatically. Select the kernel to boot. Afterwards Yast will ask you if it should run LILO. Answer yes, and the problem should be gone... In general, the "ran out of input data" often disappears by just running lilo.
