Important safety tip. Do not use Mandrake Update to update the kernel via RPM! Anyone ever restored the initrd.img file? Good thing I have multiple kernels to boot. Took some major tweaking, but I'm back up with my 2.4.16 kernel. The 2.4.3 kernel is wiped, the 2.4.8 (update kernel) is toast and isn't compiling either, and the 2.2.19 kernel panics and dies may always have, first time trying it). Am I having fun or what?
