win2k SP4 ugrade fails on reboot with ntoskrnl.exe error

[Colin]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

I downloaded and ran the win2k sp4 English upgrade and all seemed to be
progressing until reboot failed. It failed after the logo disappeared and
displayed a blue screen memory dump saying something failed in this
ntoskrnl.exe.

Now what? I really don't know what to do next. Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks - I now know I need a hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;867778#kb4

It does not seem easy to download it - at least the KB artcile doesn't tell me
how or link to it. Any ideas on how to do that?

TIA
Colin

weeks ago and installed that in safe mode. Problem fixed.
