Description Stephen Tweedie 2002-03-28 15:01:02 UTC 
Description of Problem:
On a large (8Gb) machine running 7.2 with kernel-enterprise and kernel-smp
kernels involved, a Skipjack upgrade selects only kernel-smp as the upgrade
kernel.  In fact, kernel-bigmem should be the kernel used for the upgrade, as
that supercedes the old kernel-enterprise package and is required for >4Gb
memory support.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Install media from skipjack public beta 1.

How Reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 7.2 with kernel-enterprise on a large memory machine
2. upgrade to Skipjack

Actual Results:
kernel-smp is selected by the installer for the upgrade.

Expected Results:
kernel-bigmem should be selected by the installer for the upgrade.

Additional Information:
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-03-28 19:46:01 UTC 
That's because kernel-bigmem didn't obsolete/provide kernel-enterprise so there
was no way for anaconda to know the two were related.  Current CVS kernel has
kernel-bigmem obsoleting kernel-enterprise which will fix this.
Comment 2 Jay Turner 2002-04-02 19:03:17 UTC 
Indeed, fix confirmed with 2.4.18-0.13.
