Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.97-59.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31-2.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31-12.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. update with yumex 2. 3. Actual results: grub.conf not updtes and initramfs Expected results: grub.conf udted and initramfs in /boot Additional info: this is fully udated f12 insalleed from new F12-Snap2-x86_64-Live.
I solved this by removing kernel-2.6.31-12.fc12.x86_64 with yumex and yum update kernel. Then initramfs was installed and grub.cong updated. This is related to permission problem, I noticed that in yumex output log.

This has been confirmed by several forum users, they all had trouble upgrading the kernel with yumex, yum and PackageKit don't have any trouble. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
