[Aurora-sparc-user] Just did a yum update for kernel/kernel-devel...now reboot fails :(

[Charles Tryon]

I had a similar problem.  I haven't reported it yet because I don't have
the exact error message, and since the box was running as my main
NIS/NFS/DHCP/DNS server, I didn't have time to fiddle with it.  I just
figured out how to boot the previous kernel, and haven't touched it
since....   (Yea, I'm in the process of moving a lot of those services
off to another slightly less experimental server!)

(I'm on a UltraSPARC II)
