Additional info: Could I be setup wrong for updating Kernels, if so, what is proper setup, either with my registration at RHN or my system.
Here is a copy of my lilo.conf file: [root@screamer48 /etc]# more lilo.conf boot="/dev/sda" map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout="50" message=/boot/message linear default=linux image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-34" label="linux" initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.9-34.img" read-only root="/dev/sda1" [root@screamer48 /etc]#
It seems to be the quotes, up2date isnt expecting lilo's to have the image name quoted. lilo seems to be happy with it quoted or un quoted, though. I'll see about making sure the next version understands both.
affects us too.
current versions should handle this (plus grub is now the default)
