Everything was running fine before I got the RH CD involved. But yea. I've
got two kernels in there as backup and neither one will take me past
LILO. Both of these kernels were also being used before the RH CD.

Maybe in my case the --rebuilddb is broke. I don't expect it to see
non-rpm installs but atleast see it's own. Kinda bordering M$. Maybe 7.0
addresses this problem.

I was cracking up two days ago while defragging a windoze machine. It had
to keep restarting the defrag process because the contents of the
drive kept changing. I guess it was confusing itself.
