Could you elaborate more on the exact error ?
When does it exactly occur? after you've started the installation?
How are you installing sp2? from a cd or the network installation file?

You've already found the solution to your problem.
I dont think the pop-up has got anything to do to prevent the installation of sp2.We can check that later. :)

According to the MS-KB article..
Code:
 This behavior may occur if your computer has a modified version of the Ntoskrnl.exe file that uses the /KERNEL switch in the Boot.ini file. This condition may exist because your computer has a third-party program installed that customizes the graphics that are displayed when your computer starts up. Third-party programs that can cause this condition include the following:
•	BootXP
•	LogonUI Boot Randomizer
If you have any of the customised applications then uninstall them & try installing sp2,if not then post your boot.ini file here

Right-click MY computer>Properties>Advanced>Under start-up & recovery>settings>Edit>Save the file & post it here.

Otherwise manually search for the file & do the same.
