[Cooker] Install bug, vmlinuz symlink on seperate /boot not updated
On a clean isntall, if you had a seperate /boot, and chose not to format /boot (which is the default), the sylink to vmlinuz is left as it was before, so you end up booting the previous kernel with no modules availble. The initd.img link is set correctly. Unfortunately, this isn't the kind of bug you see in testing on a spare partition :-( (no seperate /boot).

Oh, I almost forgot. Did we deliberately stop tailing logs to /dev/tty12? That was a nice default. -- _ _|_|_ ( ) *Anton Graham /v\ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] /( )X (m_m) GPG ID: 18F78541 Penguin Powered!
[Cooker] Install bug
I have 128MB on my machine. I entered 128 in the requestor for memory size during the install. There is no mem=XXX statement in lilo. What it did was put in my scsi, but no memory settings. Sam
