Has > someone experienced something similar? What's the work around? For some reason, when I installed FC3, I got two kernels, one for SMP, the other for uniprocessing. Although I only have one processor, the SMP version was made the default. Unless I was quick enough to stop it, the SMP version would run for a while and freeze. The reset button produced an unclean reboot. After about three of those, the filesystems were corrupted beyond repair. I had to reinstall. My work-around was to edit grub's configuration file to ignore the SMP version. Perhaps your update produced a similar evil. -- Mike hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* ONLY TURN UP ONCE." -- Death
