kernel update, how?

[Soetji Anto]

Last night I updated my kernel-2.6.9-1.667 to kernel-2.6.10-1.729_FC3 via up2date (yum)
from:
ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/people/dwmw2/fc3-kernel-ppc/

Then I yabootconfig using the new /boot/vmlinuz-*. Upon reboot, it got stuck on the
SELinux lines.

It was the first time I updated the kernel and I might have missed something. Can any one
provide step-by-step instructions of what to do after installing the new kernel w/
up2date?

Thanks,
Soetji

Does booting with selinux=0 get you any further?

How do I boot with selinux=0?

At the yaboot prompt hit tab to list the kernels

boot the current kernel with eg:

linux selinux=0

Replace linux with the image name shown in the listing by hitting tab.  The default image
if any is marked with a *

You shouldn't need to to anything. Install the new RPM, reboot -- it
should have added itself to yaboot.conf all by itself. If it doesn't
work, file bugs.

Don't yabootconfig. The kernel package should set yaboot.conf correctly 
on install, and you can tweak it manually afterwards if it doesn't suit 
you. Yabootconfig doesn't add the initrd, and booting without an initrd 
causes the observed symptom (at least it did for me, if I remember 
correctly).

Since I guess yabootconfig has overwritten your old yaboot.conf, the 
easiest solution would probably be getting your system bootable again 
somehow and then removing and re-installing the new kernel. Assuming 
that yabootconfig got everything else correctly, you should only have 
to add the initrd. It may be possible to specify it at the yaboot 
prompt. Or boot from a rescue CD (don't know whether you can get a 
shell with boot.iso?).

Looks like missing /dev/console for me (and it
doesn't print message that 
console can't be opened if I'm correct ).

Thanks for all the responses. I added the initrd and it is working now. Won't edit
yaboot.config manually next time!
