new kernel not booting

[RudeBwoy]

Hi.
i `m running my box on a kernel-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4, everything works fine. I wanted to update my kernel. So i downloaded new kernel-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4.rpm, install went good. But the boot froze with a info

SElinux: registering netfilter hooks i disabled selniux in a grub.conf with selinux=0 and then it froze
IDE0: BM-DMA at 0x8410-0x8417, bios settings: hda:dma, hdb:pio
IDE1: BM-DMA at 0x8418-0x841f, bios settings: hdc:dma, hdd:pio

and same thing with a kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4. I tried with a kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.src.rpm and it didn`t do nothing.
My machine config ddidn`t change, it`s a laptop so i couldn`t do much.

if you had selinux enabled - then how about trying to relabel the files??

[RudeBwoy]

could someone help me?

Hi:
Just a suggestion..try booting from the Linux Resuce or FC1 install disc and chroot/mnt/sysimage and remove the offending kernel?

rpm -e kernel ..XXXXXXX

and reboot using the older kernel and see if that works. I am assuming you still have the other kernel installed?

BTW did you use Yum to install your new kernel or some other method?
