Just wondering when this potential bug might be addressed. It's been open since September. Did you update by RPM or up2date? Please attach (individually) the output of these commands to the BZ entry as I don't have access to RHL9 machines (nor packages) at the moment: rpm -q --scripts kernel-2.4.20-20.9 rpm -q --scripts sysstat [jag@lassen jag]$ rpm -q --scripts kernel-2.4.20-20.9 preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /sbin/modprobe loop 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || : exit 0 postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): cd /boot ln -sf vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 vmlinuz ln -sf System.map-2.4.20-20.9 System.map ln -sf module-info-2.4.20-20.9 module-info [ -x /usr/sbin/module_upgrade ] && /usr/sbin/module_upgrade [ -x /sbin/mkkerneldoth ] && /sbin/mkkerneldoth if [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] ; then /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.4.20-20.9 fi preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /sbin/modprobe loop 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || : #rm -f /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/modules.* if [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] ; then /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --rminitrd --rmmoddep --remove 2.4.20-20.9 fi [jag@lassen jag]$ rpm -q --scripts sysstat package sysstat is not installed OK, please run "rpm -qp --scripts /path/to/the/original/sysstat-....rpm" instead (with the correct path to the sysstat RPM file which was installed before you upgraded to the new kernel). It's been several kernel iterations since I noticed it missing. Any idea how I find the original rpm? Well in that case, we don't surely know what's the culprit (the sysstat package, the current or an older kernel package, something completely different). Unfortunately RPM doesn't keep track of when/what was installed/uninstalled so we don't even know what exactly happened and when. To be sure that you won't get bitten again, you could uninstall the current kernel package (downgrade to an older version), install the current sysstat package and upgrade the kernel again. For now I'll be closing this as WORKSFORME because this problem seems unreproducible to me. If it happens again when you do what I described above (or with any other means by which you think you can trigger the problem), feel free to reopen it. |
