# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm

I've lilo with no grub. Could this be due to a lilo.conf that confuses grubby?

boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
linear
read-only

prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
vga=ask

default=linux
append="root=LABEL=/"

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-12.5
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-12.5.img

If so, this is bug in mkinitrd package...just manifests itself here.

This looks fixed with the final release.  Reopen if this isn't the case.
