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
Is this the complete phrase you intended to send. It seems your interesting explanation about /etc/rc.config:INITRD_MODULES is not finished.
Why wouldn't the rpm post script be able to process the /etc/rc.config file or to call mk_initrd??
Yeah. Since YAST can parse rc.config why can't rpm? Or is there simply some reason for rpm not to?

????

Yes, as I've already said there's no reason for the post_install script to assume that INITRD_MODULES is correct so why should it run mk_initrd and lilo. There are some things that are best left to an administrator to do. -- -ckm
