Description of problem:
ran graphical up2date to install kernel-2.4.9-21 and friends.  I have software
raid to mirror all my partitions.  the drives are on a pci ide card (since the
via ide on the motherboard sucks).  the installer bombed trying to find
/dev/hda.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. well, i'll only try it once so it is kind of every time.


Actual Results:  % up2date
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 786, in doInstallation
    up2date.installBootLoader(kernelsToInstall)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2date.py", line 2148, in
installBootLoader
    bootloader = checkbootloader.whichBootLoader()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/checkbootloader.py", line 45, in
whichBootLoader
    fd = os.open(bootDev, os.O_RDONLY)
OSError: [Errno 6] No such device or address: '/dev/hda'


Expected Results:  blissful silence, and everything works.

Additional info:

the progress bars for both the package and the total transfer both show 100%. 
The package I believe it was trying to install when it bombed was 
/var/spool/up2date/kernel-source-2.4.9-21.i386.rpm.  the only active button on
the user interface is "cancel".  and of course I don't know at this point if the
install was successful or not.  (but I suspect it was.)

I see a fundamental flaw in the logic. 
/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/checkbootloader.py looks to see if
/boot/grub/grub.conf exists, and if it does then the code assumes I am using
grub.  I do not use grub, when I installed I asked for lilo to be used, and
apparently the installer dropped the grub stuff in anyway.  (since I asked for
"everything" to be installed.)
