Thanks very much for the command line info, I still have a lot to learn there. I have already booted the system as you outlined, have been checking to see what works. Still have to back-up some work I did today, and, fortunately, haven't lost yet due to my lack of forethought. Carlos suggested re-installing the old kernel from the installation disc. Would that be any safer? And how would I go about it?
Grub's 'error 15' means it can't find the files needed to boot. Try running the 'repair installed system' module from your installation media (DVD/CD) and select to have it reinstall the bootloader (grub.) This will leave the updated kernel intact. I seem to recall having to do this before discovering kernel updates via YOU have to 'fly solo' ;-) regards, Carl
