Ok, got it. There is some new code in BootLoader.ycp compared to 10.1
to replace symlinks in lilo.conf. I've no idea why this makes sense,
why not leave "image=/boot/vmlinuz" in lilo.conf instead of replacing it with
"image=/boot/vmlinuz-bla-blu" etc.?

Anyway, the code fails when the link in /boot is absolute, although
the comment states that "readlink -m" should solve this. Our kernel.rpm
creates

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      35 Feb 12 13:07 vmlinuz -> 
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-12suse-bio-smp

But since /boot points to /mounts/instsys/boot, readlink -m returns this:

inst-sys:~ # readlink -m /mnt/boot/vmlinuz
/mounts/instsys/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-12suse-bio-smp

I will change our kernel.rpm to use relative links, but I guess the code
in Bootloader.ycp should be debugged :-)

cu,
Frank
