Question: Why did you press ctrl+c when rebooting? Is that a hotkey in grub or lilo? If I install a kernel that doesn't work, I usually press the up cursor arrow until I'm sure the grub menu is on the screen. Then I press the down arrow until I think I'm on the old kernel. It would be nice if there was an easier way to do this. I guess though... How would you know how many times to press ctrl+c? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jude DaShiell" <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 8:34 PM Subject: graceful back out of 2.6.17 >I managed to do a graceful back out of 2.6.17-speakup-686 kernel a few > minutes ago.
