Description Cipriano Groenendal 2003-07-17 10:41:46 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 
1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
Installing lilo with a kickstart, installs it with a default lilo.conf file, 
which includes this line:

message=/boot/message

However, said file is owned by the redhat-logos packages. If you don't install 
that rpm, and the file is not present, lilo will refuse to install with the 
following error:

Fatal: open /boot/message: No such file or directory



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lilo-21.4.4-20

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install redhat with a kickstart that specificly excludes the redhat-logos 
rpm.
2. Install lilo

    

Actual Results:  After installation, there is no lilo installed and linux will 
refuse to start.

Expected Results:  Lilo / Anaconda should not install the message line in the 
lilo.conf if the messagefile is not there, or lilo-[...].rpm should Depend on 
redhat-logos.

Fixed in CVS to only put the message line there if the image exists.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2006-08-04 20:39:50 UTC
Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red
Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED
state for these products.

However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the
cracks. If, in fact, these issues are not resolved in a current Fedora Core
Release (such as Fedora Core 5), please open a new issues stating so. Thanks.
