My only manual install of kernel-utils was when it was broken out some time back, since urpmi --auto-select --auto --no-uninstall didn't install it at that time. That was when everyone was seeing no mkinitrd. Evidently I wasn't the only one to see an issue, but it may have been a transient condition on the cooker (or my mirror) that allowed it to happen. Since I generally update every evening, I tend to experience more than my share of those. As long as it's not a widespread problem, I've uninstalled kernel-utils, and installed bootloader-utils again (with a rpm -ivh --force), so hopefully I won't be seeing that problem again. Thanks for clarifying things. Paul Misner
