A simpler approach is discussed on bug 731580
Part of the patch does this in /sbin/new-kernel-pkg: if [ -z "$mountEntry" ]; then mount $ubootDevice $ubootDir fi For anything other than "standard" device/filesystem, this will not work correctly. For example, in my setup /boot/uboot is a bind mount of /boot. There should be some kind of mechanism to specify this in /etc/sysconfig/uboot.
We need to review this for F-18
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
I think this can now be closed
