Re: recover the system

This is a hard one. How did you upgraded the kernel? If you did it right, you should still have the other kernel as an boot option. If you don't have the boot option, but you still have the old kernel, you can boot with the installation cd and start in rescue mode. From there, you can add the boot option to the /etc/grub.conf file.

If you don't have the old kernel, you can boot using the installation cd in rescue mode and re-install the old kernel using rpm -ivh.
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?
