Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.5.4-1 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. running the GUI up2date and selecting kernel update 2. 3. Actual Results: up2date stalled, not completing, after complaining about unsupported lilo.conf parameters Expected Results: lilo.conf updated and up2date terminated Additional info: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/gui.py", line 600, in doInstallation up2date.installBootLoader(kernelsToInstall) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 2222, in installBootLoader ret = lilocfg.installNewImages(kernelList,test=0) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/lilocfg.py", line 266, in installNewImages raise LiloConfParseError("\n" + "%s" % config.unsupported) lilocfg.LiloConfParseError: lilo options that are not supported by up2date are used in the default lilo.conf. This file will not be modified. The options include: ['disk=/dev/sda', 'bios=0x80', 'disk=/dev/hda', 'bios=0x81']
The next version of the up2date client does include support for these paramaters.
Verified.
