Is there a fix? Unfortunately, the 2.4.20-27.9 upgrade, unlike previous rh9 upgrades, took it upon itself to automatically delete all earlier versions of the kernel from the system, so I cannot simply edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to default to the older kernel. I think somebody at Red Hat maybe had a little too much holiday happy juice just before that release was tested... :-< -- -------- "And there came a writing to him from Elijah" [2Ch 21:12] -------- R.
