Description Arenas Belon, Carlo Marcelo 2001-02-13 12:21:24 UTC
Granted, you can have all of them installed at the same time and select
which one to use at boot time with lilo.

but you would be loosing space on /boot and have no change to have :

  Provides: module-info

for every kernel type.

as a result, there is a missing link for module-info on the -smp and
-enterprise kernels and the %post script are making broken links for
module-info as a result.

ok, now i am not aslept and i think my english is hardly improving ;)

i think the principal problem (module-info with a broken link on
kernel-enterprise installs) could be fixed with just adding a line on the %files
for enterprise kernels including the module-info%{KVERREL}enterprise file.

a really simple patch is attached (against the 2.2.17-14's spec) that is at
least technically correct.

a nice touch would be also to Provide: module-info for kernel-smp,
kernel-enterprise and kernel-jensen (whatever is that)

please forgive my explanation about making all the kernel packages mutually
exclusive, i guess i am not me sometimes :(

BTW as a side comment bug 28411 seems related to this one and even as it seems
fixed on errata for -4 the problem was still present on the final errata with
release -14

This should be working now, I think.
