What? No. The kernel source RPM contains kernel sources. It has nothing to do with the initramfs. It creates a dummy file with the same name by dd'ing from /dev/zero and marks that as %ghost. The actual initramfs is built by grubby when the kernel package is installed because of the call to new-kernel-pkg. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
