------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-30-09 23:52 -------
I have just finished a new testinstall with a fully synced Cooker,
that uses DrakX v. 1.847 and this problem still exists...
and this bug does _not_ have anything to do with bootloader-utils,
since if I install the 2.6 kernel using rpm the symlinks does not change...
so afaik it's DrakX / drakboot that is messing up ...

When installing standard kernel-2.4.22.5mdk-1-1mdk from main and
kernel-2.6.0-0.test4.3mdk-1-1mdk from contribs during install
the initrd.img and vmlinuz symlinks in /boot points to the 2.6 kernel:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 syys 8 2003 initrd.img
->initrd-2.6.0-0.test4.3mdk.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 syys 8 2003 vmlinuz
->vmlinuz-2.6.0-0.test4.3mdk
This is _bad_ since the lilo options linux, linux-nonfb and failsafe all use:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
as their kernel choice...
This will lead to users trying to fix their broken systems most likely
ending up with more problems, since without they knowing it, they will
be booting into an 2.6 test-kernel :-(
And this is definately an installer bug since all contrib kernels
are using -L parameter with /sbin/installkernel, and installing
a 2.6 kernel _after_ a newly installed system has been rebooted into,
won't trigger this behaviour....

Thomas
