yes, there are a couple things you need to do on your own. For some
reason the kernel rpm messes up the soft links in /boot.
Here is what an ls -l should look like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 22 16:55 System.map ->
System.map-2.4.4-3mdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 414498 May 21 15:17
System.map-2.4.4-3mdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 412625 May 12 21:26
System.map-2.4.4-ac8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 May 8 07:31 boot.0300
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 8 06:59 boot.b ->
lilo/boot.b
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 608 Apr 27 10:52 chain.b
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 22 16:55 config ->
config-2.4.4-3mdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33643 May 21 15:17
config-2.4.4-3mdk
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 22 07:35 grub/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 22 07:14 kernel.h ->
kernel.h-2.4.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 441 May 22 16:57 kernel.h-2.4.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 8 06:59 lilo ->
lilo-menu/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 8 06:59 lilo-graphic/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 8 06:59 lilo-menu/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 8 06:59 lilo-text/
-rw------- 1 root root 38400 May 8 07:31 map
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67580 Apr 9 13:00 memtest-2.5.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129 May 8 07:31 message
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 640 Apr 27 10:52 os2_d.b
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 256 May 8 07:31 us.klt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 22 07:33 vmlinuz ->
vmlinuz-2.4.4-3mdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 849992 May 21 15:17
vmlinuz-2.4.4-3mdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 770598 May 12 20:43
vmlinuz-2.4.4-ac8
You may need to rm the vmlinuz, config and System.map and re-add them
with:
ln -s
I hope that helps.
Chmouel, is there some reason the rpm is leaving these links a mess?
