Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.9-0.18.i686.rpm 2. rpm -e kernel-2.4.9-0.5 3. BANG! Actual Results: # rpm -e kernel-2.4.9-0.5 error opening /boot/grub/grub.conf for read: No such file or directory error: execution of %preun scriptlet from kernel-2.4.9-0.5 failed, exit status 1 Expected Results: No output. Additional Information: What a heck kernel needs grub, isn't a good ole LILO enough !?
Our recent kernels support grub AND lilo, unfortionatly 2.4.9-0.5 had a bug in that code...... should be fixed in 2.4.9-0.18
