Yes, this one IS goofy. The last "official" FC2 kernel where it worked was 2.6.6-1.435.2.3. From then on they all do expect it the other way. Why change? Why cause this kind of grief without reason? Hours spent, and not even chasing a real bug. yes, this interface change was extremely nasty, but somewhat unavoidable given this changed upstream. :-/ in-place editing of files like /etc/fstab from within the kernel rpm isnt necessarily a good idea sadly, as users could have all sorts of things in there which makes getting it right pretty much impossible. For eg, on a mixed PATA/SATA system, the editing process would have no idea which drive to do a s/hdX/sdX/ on. *** Bug 129806 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 129806 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
