From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202 Description of problem: With the below grub.conf, rpm -i of kernel RPM hangs at post-install. Deleting the line beginning "#password" fixes the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Note: The system where I discovered this is RHL 7.2, but I would guess it happens with all the current errata kernels. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install attached grub.conf 2. rpm -i latest kernel rpm 3. observe hang Actual Results: rpm hangs. When killed, grub.conf is unmodified. Expected Results: rpm finishes and grub.conf is updated. Additional info: The grub.conf file in question: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # 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 # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz #password --md5 .... title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-18.7.x) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.x ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-17.7.x) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.7.x ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-17.7.x.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.9-34) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-34 ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.9-34.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.9-31) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.9-31.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.9-21) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-21 ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.9-21.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.9-13) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-13 ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.9-13.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
