The problem is that the initrd and the boot menu item is created when the kernel package is installed, in the post-install scripts. What happened was surely that the kernel installed fine but the post-install scripts failed. As far as I can tell there's no way to tell that the post-install scripts failed using RPM, so this really isn't up2date's fault, it's a limitation of rpm. /Per -- Per Bjornsson <perbj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University
