From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: command: up2date kernel kernel-unsupported result: No module ieee1394 found for kernel 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL, aborting. mkinitrd failed. kernel gets installed, but no grub.conf entry is created after this error. see details below... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install kernel-unsupported 2. connect firewire drive 3. run kudzu to configure firewire drive 4. ieee1394, ohci1394, sbp2 modules get placed in /etc/modules.conf 5. update kernel kernel-unsupported with up2date 6. kernel script tries to mkinitrd with ieee1394 support. 7. script fails because ieee1394 is in kernel-unsupported. 8. kernel gets installed, but /etc/grub.conf does not get updated. Expected Results: kernel script should realize that ieee1394 is part of kernel-unsupported and should either ignore ieee1394 modules or look for ieee1394 in kernel-unsupported modules (which means that kernel would have a dependency on kernel-unsupported in this case.) Additional info:
Hello, Robert. Please upgrade the kernel-unsupported package before the kernel package when using unsupported modules. Then things should work properly.
