[mdlug] Wine cannot run 32 bit windows programs with recent kernel upgrade?

[Jeff Hanson]

Normally previous kernel versions are not removed during kernel updates to
allow fall-back if the newest version doesn't boot.  Just hold the shift
key at boot to get the grub menu then select an older version from the
list.  Looks like they will fix the problem in a later kernel release.
