Hmm, that's the third (independent) mention of this same problem that has come by me. I haven't actually done an updated install using this new kernel, I'll need to see if it does the same thing for me. I assume it is possible to use rescue mode to repair it... has anyone done this? What is the problem and how to fix it? I'm thinking that as a temporary measure such a fix could be scripted from the %post section of a ks.cfg file. Or perhaps there is a change to the installer that will get it working right? Is it worth using the more recent versions of anaconda in rawhide with this new kernel? Which raises another question... is it worth looking at the rawhide releases of anaconda for installer bugfixes and enhancements? Will these versions work for the current stable release, or are they specific for rawhide? If confirmed this might need to bugzilla'd, although #67342 and #67441 may be related. > Cheers, > Peter > ClarkConnect - http://www.clarkconnect.org Cheers Tony
