[mythtv-users] kernel name question

[Andy Lee]

I just did an:
# apt-get install kernel#2.4.22-1.2188.nptl_48.rhfc1.at 
kernel-source#2.4.22-1.2188.nptl_48.rhfc1.at

...to upgrade my kernel.  Now at boot time, I see 2 new entries.  One 
is the expected "Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2188.nptl_48.rhfc1.at)", but if 
I pick that one, it leaves me in single-user mode.  The other 
(unexpected, at least to me) one is "Fedora Core 
(2.4.22-1.2188.nptl)", and when I choose it at boot, it starts up X as 
expected (i.e. as before the upgrade).

Is there reason to use one over the other?  I will freely admit to not 
understanding the kernel naming convention (as in, I have no idea what 
"nptl" means).  If I should indeed be using the ...nptl_48.rhfc1.at 
kernel, I could use a nudge as to how to make it boot into multiuser mode.
