I downloaded RH7.3 and did a full installation. Yep this time it worked just fine and dandy.

  Went to the automated update shit. I did that, it updated my kernel too. Did a reboot,,,KAZAM WAM BLAM,.,,,,Kernel panic.


    There is a reason i drive a car with manual gears and not an automated piece of shit.

  Autoupdate can kiss my ass.

RH in a corner of your HD?
 I would start a fight with you but I cant. I like the girl on your sig.  She hypnotizes me.  :eek:    :eek:  

 Am gonna install it again and do all the updates my self. But before I do that Ill install  RED HAT 5.2 just for the hell of it.

 Yeeeeeaaaaah baby.

I've had that happen with RedHat's updated kernels before. I don't know what the hell they do to them but if you upgrade everything *but* the kernel you will be fine. If you haven't wiped it out you could probably pass some boot options and figure out where it's blowing up (like agp=no, pcmcia=no, apm=no, etc).

I updated myRedHat7.3 kernel and edited /etc/lilo.conf then ran /sbin/lilo.....no problems rebooting at all.

can't you just update everything but the kernel like voidmain said, and then get a newer kernel which you then put in yrself? you know setting the modules with menuconfig and so on?

I did what VoidMan said.

 I typed the commands he said , but am honest I was clueless on what to do. :-D

  I reintalled 7.3 and I updated just the software. I will update the kernel manualy.
