  Solution

   Please install the updates provided at the location noted
   below.

  Installation notes

   This update is provided as an RPM package that can easily be
   installed onto a running system.

   First, find out which kernel package to use, for example
   with
rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz

   Download the kernel image fitting your setup and install it
   with either:

     * rpm -Fvh k_deflt-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the default kernel
       image, or
     * rpm -Fhv k_athlon-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the AMD Athlon
       optimized kernel image, or
     * rpm -Fhv k_smp-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the SMP kernel image,
       or
     * rpm -Fhv k_psmp-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the PSMP kernel image

   Please do only install one of these kernels, not all of
   them.

   In case you are using LILO as bootmanager, please make sure
   that you also execute the command
lilo

   after installing the update for the system to remain
   bootable.

   Finally, reboot the system with
shutdown -r now

   to load the new kernel (replace "now" with the appropriate
   amount of time to allow local users to cleanly log out, for
   example "+5" for five minutes.)

Preinformation.english:
This update can be used to install a new kernel.
 
If you decide to use the kernel update, we recommend that you reboot
your system upon completion of the YaST Online Update, as additional
kernel modules may be needed which can only be loaded after the system
is rebooted.
