I don't understand why the mk_initrd and lilo sequence are not part of the post installation scripts of the RPMs, since those steps must be taken, anyway.
Because there's no way for a post-install script to know whether /etc/rc.config:INITRD_MODULES. SInce the initrd isn't isn't automatically created there's no reason to run /sbin/lilo.
I don't agree. You still need to run lilo because your kernel image (/boot/zImage) just changed, otherwise the system maynot boot next time around. Cheers, -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan@nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/
