Seems that kernel upgrades cause troubles from time to time.

cp -f /boot/vmlinuz26 /boot/vmlinuz26-old
cp -f /boot/kernel26.img /boot/kernel26-old.img
cp -f /boot/kernel26-fallback.img /boot/kernel26-old-fb.img

before upgrading the kernel along with the proper entries in lilo/grub may save some lives.

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ directory may rise some problems.
This task depends upon
