Description of problem:

rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686.rpm fails.  Upgraded to Fedora 9 from 8
using instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq

kernel fails to install, still is booting the fedora 8 kernel according to grub
because of the failed kernel rpm install, its not updating grub.:

[root@missioncontrol ~]# rpm -qa|grep kernel

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that

Expected results:

kernel to insall correctly and update grub

Comment 1 Hin-Tak Leung 2008-06-14 19:45:00 UTC 
I also went through the yumupgadefaq route from f8 to f9; I think I was able to
boot 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64, but lately cannot at all.

always mount cannot find libblkid.so.1 messages, and it would mount root
read-only. I actually tried to unpack the generated initrd and it is there.
Don't know what's wrong but thought it might be related.

Please flag as dupe of 443332, it's a manifestation of the same problem 
methinks.
