Description of problem: Installing to a SMP machine, I only want the kernel-smp package installed (and not the kernel package). This is to control the boot-order in grub, so up2date doesn't change it on me, etc. I install from a kickstart file, and added the directive -kernel to remove the UP kernel. It got installed anyway. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.deselect kernel in kickstart file 2.rpm -qa | grep kernel Actual Results: I end up with both SMP and UP kernels installed. Expected Results: Should have only the SMP kernel. Additional info: /root/install.log shows: Installing kernel-2.4.20-8. Installing kernel-smp-2.4.20-8. Installing kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13. Installing kernel-source-2.4.20-8. A workaround is to do an rpm -e kernel in your postinstall script.
Fixed in CVS to not unilaterally select "kernel" if we've selected another kernel package.
Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
