A Day Late

I’m finally rid of the kdebase package I couldn’t seem to get off my server. At first I thought the kernel panic was possibly caused by the multiprocessor kernel. From the searching I did on kernel panics, a lot seem to deal with the smp kernel. I booted into the kernel without smp support and tried to remove the package again, still ended up with a kernel panic. Next I wondered if it could be caused by some file system corruption so I booted to a prompt and ran fsck which uncovered a bunch of errors, one of which dealt with a kde file. I initiated a repair, rebooted and tried the remove again only this time everything seemed to work.

Oh yeah, I also upgraded the kernel. Now I just need to get the UPS system hooked up and I’ll be in good shape.
