For releases with an older mkinitrd, that is exactly the case, as demonstrated by this bug report. I'm not going to change the configs for the master branch to avoid the dependency so that you can install the kernel on a release it was never meant to deploy with. We update the kernel to depend on updated versions of the closely-related support tools all the time (e.g. udev) and this is no different. Also, I'm not going to remove the dependency to let users implement option #2 themselves because that's how we end up with *exactly* this bug report. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
