Description Kevin Krafthefer 2003-08-11 11:24:38 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
On machines using lilo, lilo.conf doesn't get updated when the kernel is
updated. The RHEL version of grubby doesn't handle lilo.conf and the work around
of having the update agent handle this is broken; newlilocfg.py fails to import
lilo. There have been a number of bugs filed against this, unfortunately, the
work around of "use grub instead" isn't viable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-2.8.45-1.2.1AS kernel-2.4.9-e.25 mkinitrd-3.2.6-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install lilo
2. up2date -uf kernel
3. check /etc/lilo.conf
    

Actual Results:  lilo.cobnf is not touched

Expected Results:  lilo.conf gets updated with an entry for new kernel

According to Narsis, Adrian is aware that his comment was incorrect and the bug
is not completely fixed. See IT 26596 for more info.
