Mandrake 9.1 kernel update problems

[Clive DaSilva]

Hello

I have been running Mandrake 9.1 for about 3 months now. There was a 
memo posted earlyin December on the Mandrake site, suggesting to upgrade 
the stock kernel which came with the distro kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk to 
2.4.21.0.26mdk which was patched to guard against a root exploit. This 
upgrade seemed to go ok, and I recall using the urpmi tool for this 
upgrade. Since then I have tried to upgrade my kernel twice since then, 
first to 2.4.21.0.27 mdk and also to 2.6.0.1mdk. In both cases, the 
urpmi tool as well as "rpm --checksig kernelwhatever.rpm" reported a 
"bad signature" and borked the installation. I got these rpms from the 
Mandrake cooker site, so I would presume that they have not been 
tampered with. Not sure what to do next, apart from posting a msg here 
and a few other sites like linuxquestions.org

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Clive
