They want me to fill out a form to download that, and I'm afraid to try it tonight anyway.

Did it not in this case? I just took another look, and actually what it did was much worse. It looks at grub.conf and then rm's modules from /lib/modules for all kernels mentioned in grub.conf and then installs its own (if it has one). This left me with: # rpm -V kernel-smp-2.4.20-30.9 .M...... /dev/shm missing /lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid missing /lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.o and no aacraid module anywhere in /lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9smp/. Fortunately, it didn't blow away the 2.4.20-30.9smp initrd, so I was able to extract the missing module from that, and put it back in place. I know the system would have booted just fine (since the module was in the initrd)...but man, that's _really_annoying_ behavior for an RPM. I haven't bothered reading the whole script (25kb), but AFAICT, it rm'd the modules and did not leave backup copies of them anywhere I've looked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
