Unsatisfactory experience with Fedup

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – OK, followed the instructions for using Fedup with an iso image. It went through the process and rebooted. Chose the upgrade and it did a lot of churning and heaving. In the end it booted into an F17 kernel. Nothing I searched for told me what to do. There was no F18 kernel on the machine. I did a yum update kernel and kernel-devel and got the F18 3.7.2 kernel. I did an update and it told me I had something like 600 files to update. Oh come now. That's f*cked up guys. I couldn't update because there were issues of dependency. Sheesh I've not had this level of dependency issues since RH 7 (HowTos)

So my question is can i update my Kernel? If yes, then can i update it using SUT?

hi, I have been using ubuntu for the last two years, mostly resolved issues from going through the forum here. Recently I updated my kernel image to 2.6.35-23-generic #40, but my wireless stop working. I have to drop down to 2.6.35-22-generic #35 which I am currently using to surf and post to get some help here.

The last two times I ran freebsd-update install the machine (re)booted from the GENERIC kernel instead of my custom kernel.

As suggested by Freebsd Update (section 25.2.2) I have a GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC:

After I make some operations to update Kernel, my fedora 12 are stopped on the previous page of login, and also can not show the mouse point after the color of fedora logo changed from white to colorific in rebooting(it also spend several minues on this page, and then halt even I take a two hours' snooze and it still didn't change anything :( ).

That's the details:

Whenever Update mgr updates the kernel, on reboot I get the following error for the new kernel. Bad or missing file. Using grub, select the previous kernel. Boots fine, even though I would have gotten the same error after that kernel update. I always have to use grub to select the last kernel.
