Quick question newbie question: After updating kernels via up2date what is the preferred method for removing old kernels? rpm -e? Or is there another way? I have tried: rpm -e kernel-2.4.18-14 kernel-smp-2.4.18-14 It runs forever and never seems to do the job. I let it run all night and can

FYI - that was the trick. Thank you very much. In the long run, I think the hdd=ide-scsi may have worked and I was running into sound issues. But it works now - DVD playback rocks. Thanks again, Jesse. Harry Jesse Keating wrote: On Thursday 20 February 2003 17:37, Harold Helmich uttered
