Red Hat does similar, fortunate for me when my latest kernel upgrade had
troubles.  Not having time to tinker I just removed the new and went on
using the old.

BTW some time back I had some scary filesystem troubles and received
advise ranging from "fsck and you'll be fine" to "you're doomed".  For
what it's worth, I said yes to everything fsck (e2fsck I guess, really)
suggested and so far am fine, thanks.  Red Hat 8.0, ext3, on a Celeron
533.

Cheers,
Ian Stephen
