Hi Jim,
I tried that and the results are not good. I can no longer log into the system and X isn't starting up at all. After it boots, it presents the character login but the keyboard is dead. I got it to boot the previous kernel (logged in using single user mode, fixed grub.conf) again the the same results (not being able to log in).
Did you download the correct archetecture kernel? I had a problem with keyboard not working with some kernel called hugemem or something similar. There are ppc, 64 bit and smp kernels in this repository.
Probably have to force install the current kernel. It looks like the machine crashes as it's not pinging either ...> On Jan 02, 2005, at 00:03, Jim Cornette wrote:
From runlevel 1 you might try to use the --install --replacefiles --replacepkgs --oldpackage options to rpm. I would not consider force installing anything. Forcing installation on the kernel even sounds more like a danger zone creation.
/sbin/lspci shows my cards as below. your earlier description seemed to be referring to the same card type.

I hope you can salvage the system. If you downloaded the wrong archetecture of kernel, you can uninstall it with rpm, then install the correct arch version.
