-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, the subject says it all...
Installed the latest kernel & (I think glibc) updates for 6.2. Rebooted machine. Kernel starts to load: beepbeepbeepbeepbeep (ad nauseum)... "well shit," I think. I'll just R^2 the kernel & glibc stuff & reinstall the older versions. Reboot with boot disk (unfortunately it's an old kernel, as well)... rpm -e --force kernel (and related) and glibc (and related). Now many of the normal commands don't work (ls, more, and so on)... Didn't realize they were somehow related to those packages. So, what the heck... Make sure I've got recent backups of /etc & /root (don't want to lose those configs!). Reinstall 6.2 from CD, tell it to format the appropriate patitions & go to bed. Get up this morning, apply all the updates (which I have on disk) except the latest, which is what seems to have hosed my system. Copy my /etc directory back into /etc. Reboot machine. Error - can't (write or find) /var/lib/<something related to modules> - - sorry, it goes by too quickly to catch what it says (Didn't think to hit the pause key), but it seems to be pointing to a file that has an older set of numbers than my kernel. Ethernet & NMB stuff not loading. I imagine that the ethernet stuff isn't loading because of this thing looking for the wrong version of something, but I can't imagine why, as I've douplechecked kernel versions & so on. Any clues? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.3 iQA/AwUBPoRNFNPjBkUEZx5AEQIEWACgqt1rACLm3SfE5UM+3XpXj9GpFKYAoKQX fNUQqiwrAQeQa8hI02EJ6brk =k9IF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
