upgrading 9.1 to 10.0CE, installer screwup?

my server had mandrake 9.1 on two different hard drives (hdc and hda). i really wasn't using hdc, so i decided to try mdk 10.0CE, as well as trying an upgrade instead of my usual clean installs.

 

i'm 100% certain i told the installer to upgrade the 9.1 install on hdc, but upon reboot i had a new 10.0 install on hda. thankfully everything went amazingly well--everything seemed to work right away except for the nvidia driver. i haven't seen this as a "known issue" but it might be of concern to some other weirdo like me with multiple installs of 9.1 on their machines. :jester:

As a rule upgrades are a disater, so you are doing well. Nvidia must always be compiled against the sources of the running kernel, or it won't drive!
