Re: [Cooker] RPM kernel upgrades Howto? TOO EASY!!!

Hi, all.

Related to this thread is a problem i found with recent kernels. 
Kernel rpms try to build the initrd.img on the fly when installing.
But what happens when running a kernel with broken loop device, like
2.4.2 ?
I my case, one of my boxes is an old P200 that boots from an AHA1520,
so I ended with a new 2.4.3-x kernel installed with no initrd ( i was
running 2.4.2 with broken loop), so
that kernel does not boot. I do not know which drivers are pre-built
in mdk kernels, in my home box I usually build my kernels, but this
other box was short of disk so I had no space for kernel source tree.

This could be solved giving a pre-built initrd with kernels.
