Follow On: After the "yum upgrade" on my daughters box (Dell Dimension 4300
with a P4 CPU, 1.6 GHz and (I think) 512 MB RAM, two (2) reboots went
perfectly, into the new Kernel. Then, I powered the box down, very briefly,
and powered it back on. No problem, booting into the new Kernel, on that
box.
