</I>
yes, I can, but only because I've edited menu.lst _manually_.
the new kernel added 2 grub entries, at the end, both pointing to the 3.0.0 kernel.
and the default one (first one) also booted the 3.0.0 kernel.
>><i> forcing an rc-something as the current kernel is... unbenevolent

</I>><i>
</I>><i> your message is not that democratic too
</I>
it is. normally, when an update pushes a totally new kernel, it should make sure GRUB still has an entry with the previous kernel.
no, not "failsafe" with the latest kernel, but just the previous working kernel.
with either of Mageia 1 and Mageia Cauldron, I could _never_ get an updated kernel to _properly_ update GRUB's menu.list.
I suppose it's rocket science. It's like GRUB was release yesterday and nobody knows how to deal with it.
 
><i> for my part i still love tmb a lot for his awesome work.
</I>
for the past, yes.
for pushing 3.0.0 as a forced update to 2.6.38... this is just a bad decision!
you all squeak and tweak over pushing or not pushing Adobe Flash 11 Beta1 x86_64 into Cauldron, because it's beta.
heck, it's just a bloody plugin!
but when comes to such a crucial thing as the kernel... forcing rc7over a working kernel is always good, because it's signed by Linus, and because tmb has pushed the mga patches.
well, I beg to strongly disagree.
