Question.

I did a fresh install of the download version of RH 7.2.
I have an IDE Tarvan TR-5 tape drive.  It works fine.
I did all the updates.
Finally there were 2 updates left and they were both Kernel updates.
I downloaded the rpm's, and then installed then using rpm -i
After it updated the kernel to 2.4.9-21 (I think the original was
2.4.7-10) it locks up when I try to use the tape drive.

Should I be updating the kernel in a different way?  Just curious.

TIA.
