For the past several versions, we seem to have a problem with a kernel
installs. The following error message appears when installing a new kernel
version:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] RPMS]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22.0.8mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:kernel-2.4.22.0.8mdk ########################################### [100%]
ln: invalid option -- o
Try `ln --help' for more information.
There is no link for lib/modules/2.4.22.x/build installed. It appears that
whatever command is running not only does not insert this link in the
directory for the kernel being installed, but removes the link in the
directory for previously installed kernel versions.
The way to manually correct this has been discussed on the cooker list, but it
is surprising to find this problem still present. Is it associated with the
conflicts between kernel-utils and bootloader-utils? It appears that both
are trying to provide /sbin/installkernel, and both are trying to provide
/usr/share/loader/lilo, if I am interpreting the following error message
properly.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] RPMS]# urpmi kernel-utils
installing
/local/ws/mandrake/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-utils-1.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
Preparing... ##################################################
Installation failed:
file /sbin/installkernel from install of kernel-utils-1.1-1mdk
conflicts with file from package bootloader-utils-1.3-1mdk
file /usr/share/loader/lilo from install of kernel-utils-1.1-1mdk
conflicts with file from package bootloader-utils-1.3-1mdk
Any advice?
