I am now stuck with a 2.1.5 kernel and 2.2.2 system files. I have lost network connectivity thru the 3Com509 card. I need to maintain the existing disk partitioning and label. Anyone have any ideas how I can either get a 2.2.2 kernel that will work, or use sysinstall/boot.flp to get me back to a working system? How can I read/use the existing disk label? Please e-mail me directly at jal@le.ac.uk because I don't have news access - this is being sent second hand.
