From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Galeon/1.3.15 Description of problem: Just did an update on a system with a firewire drive and noticed that the new kernel wasn't added to /etc/grub.conf. Turns out that the firewire modules were missing which caused mkinitrd to fail. The modules are present in kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.435.2.1 so I'm guessing this is a packaging bug? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update to kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 on a system with firewire 2. 3. Actual Results: kernel is not added to grub due to missing modules Expected Results: kernel just works Additional info:
The modules are in the 586 smp kernel and the i686 up kernel but missing from the i686 smp kernel.
this is intentional; firewire oopses during boot for quite a few users with smp, even for users who don't have actual firewire devices only a controller.
