Same results on another box which did an automatic update via yum's cron job. I ran "rpm -q --scripts -p kernel-2.6.9-1.1_FC2.i686.rpm" and found the command below in the preinstall scriptlet. The --package kernel is what causes the problem. /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.9-1.1_FC2 I ran "rpm -q mkinitrd" and it outputed "mkinitrd-3.5.22-1". yeah, that crept in by mistake. I'll nuke it, and rebuild another test kernel. You shouldnt need to update your mkinitrd. 2.6.9-1.2_FC2 should have this fixed. *** Bug 138021 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Tested 2.6.9-1.2_FC2 and it works. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Here is something I saw while upgrading a FC2 box to the test kernel. No entry in /etc/grub.conf. Not initrd in /boot. Manually running "new- kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.9-1.1_FC2" worked.
