I hope we still have time until 8.2. Just to remind - it is a problem of user Joe installing new kernel (security) update on his system on advice of Mandrake. So what currently happens is:
1. After initial install user Joe has linux and linux-failsafe intries (ignore floppy, windows or whatever) 2. when he installs kernel update (be it with rpm, urpmi or even rpmdrake now!) he gets linux -> refers to new kernel 24XX-Y -> still refers to new kernel ?? -> NOTHING refers to OLD kernel So in the worst case if anything goes wrong with new kernel he has no way to boot old trusted one. Chmouel, please - installkernel must create backup entry if it not already exists. I do not care about entry for new kernel frankly speaking - if you feel it is needed, let it be. It won't affect cooker users because they always have entry for current kernel already present - but that WILL make Mandrake more foolproof for normal user out there. -andrej
