After studying y2log for a long time :-) here's what happened:

- we made a typo when specifying our own kernel package, like
  <kernel>bio-krnel</kernel> instead of bio-kernel.

- AY didn't find this package, but instead of complaining it decided
  to use kernel-default instead. I would prefer if it told me that
  I selected a kernel that doesn't exist...

- Trying to add kernel-default, AY failed because kernel-default
  was "tabooed", so it was removed from the addon-list again.
  I guess it was tabooed because I explicitely had added a kernel.
  This taboo should be removed when this kernel doesn't exist, or
  AY should ask what to do.

- The whole installation started without any kernel. Another situation
  where AY should stop and ask, I think...

- As there was no /boot/vmlinuz, the boot loader configuration removed
  every section, but again without complaining. A hint like "I couldn't 
  create any section because no kernel is installed" would be more 
  helpful than trying to install lilo and complaining about the wrong 
  "default" entry :-)

Thus, with a kernel installed, lilo configuration runs fine without
errors! I just think AY should have complained about my typo at some
time before trying to install lilo.

cu,
Frank
