I think it's impossible for a script to guess the old kernel real filenames, So it better use the real name from the beginning. Symlink names can be keep for ... compatibility ( I d'ont know which one, but as it used to be ), but the boot loader may use kernel realname or at least failsafe entry one. But even this is not enough : [root@bastard root]# rpm -q kernel kernel-2.4.13-6mdk kernel-2.4.13-10mdk kernel-2.4.13-12mdk 3 kernel and only one failsafe entry, so use real names since the beginning is better. With this it will be possible to update kernel via urpmi in a so easy way ! -- http://perso.wanadoo.fr/linux_wizard/index.html - C'est souvent avec une femme idiote qu'on vit en bonne intelligence.
