Actually, it seems to me the real problem is that when a new kernel is installed it is immediately used by the bootloader on the next reboot, without asking. I explicitly check to see if there's a kernel upgrade and abort if that's the case, as I do not have the time to sort out the mess before the next reboot. Ideally, it could just install, without having it automatically used next time. Then, when I have time and everything is right, then the bootloader uses the new kernel. (This is probably possible, I just havn't worked out how yet). Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@gmail.com> http://svana.org/kleptog/
