Hi. I have an IBM x346 server loaded with FC4 with 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 kernel. "yum update kernel" pulled in 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 kernel. When I boot up with the new kernel, I lose my networking. Can't even ping 127.0.0.1 - get "ping: sendmsg: operation not permitted".

dmesg has this re eth0:
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95721) rev 4101 PHY(5750)] (PCI Express) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:14:5e:28:83:a4

Please advise.

Er, roll back to the previous kernel?

(FWIW, I just go in and edit /boot/grub/grub.conf, make sure the "last known good" kernel is selected as the default, save the grub.conf, then reboot).
