Seeing the same thing. Also seeing a lot of ignored bzs on this problem
Fixed in mkinitrd-6.0.12-2 .
Still occurs in .14-1 for me. Will try uninstall and reinstall.
[root@P4C800ED ~]# rpm -q mkinitrd mkinitrd-6.0.15-1.fc8 [root@P4C800ED ~]# ...fixed problems for me. Thanks.
I have the same problem in Fedora 8 and 9 /64: rpm -q mkinitrd mkinitrd-6.0.52-2.fc9.x86_64 Installing: kernel ##################### [ 80/154] grubby recieved SIGSEGV!
