I did a yum update via ssh on an SL6 server the other day,
        noticed that it never indicated complete? Yesterday I began to
        have odd problems and after rebooting the server, it wouldn't,
        it complains of a kernel panic. Using SL-Live I've installed
        another hard drive and transferred file to that, now unless
        someone can tell me a better way all I know is to re-install and
        start over. That server has been running for a year or more
        without a problem, usually it's just there, only shut down in a
        power outage and then always restarted without a problem..

        And if I do re-install I would prefer to not use LVM, what
        should I include besides /, boot, swap, and home? I always
        scratch my head when I get to that point ...

        Advice and suggestions needed,

        Bob
