Description
Need Real Name
2001-11-26 16:12:07 UTC
Two things happening here. The kernel is failing to install for some reason (typically, I've seen this happen when there isnt enough space on /boot). The other thing that is happening is that the error handling code for this case is buggy and masking the real problem. Both of these issues should be fixed in the next version of the client. After getting your response, I decided to try to manually install the RPMs to see what, if anything, was the issue. I downloaded them with up2date and installed them with rpm. Unless it had a problem making updates to /etc/lilo.conf, I can't figure it out, things went just fine, and I am running the system on the new kernel now. I had 100 MB free in / and no separate /boot, so I doubt space was the problem. So I am out of luck with reproducing this problem anymore. You can feel free to close it, far as I'm concerned, unless there is something else you want from me regarding documentation. Or you can leave it open to track the issue until you fix it. |
