I have read about some of the other kernel issues here and my question is whether I should now simply stay with this kernel and mkinitrd version to avoid further issues?
Install a new kernel manually with the command
rpm -ihv kernel-default_XXXX.iX86.rpm
The -i option keeps the *current* kernel, and installs the new kernel alongside.
The previous kernel will be accessible as vmlinuz.previous and initrd.previous, while the new kernel will be accessible as vmlinuz and initrd.
The next step is rebooting your pc to see if the new kernel does not cause problems, and if it does, the previous kernel is still accessible.
It might be handy to add a 'Boot previous kernel'-entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
It is possible to have more than 2 kernels installed.
