This particular bug might be in cifs-utils.rpm (to not call mkinitrd setup or so), but mkinitrd should survive dangling symlinks and create the initrd anyways. bash# rpm -e cifs-utils bash# zypper patch The following NEW patch is going to be installed: kernel The following package is going to be upgraded: kernel-default 1 package to upgrade. Overall download size: 31.9 MiB. After the operation, additional 1.0 KiB will be used. Continue?

There was an error generating the initrd (1) Warning: One of installed patches requires reboot of your machine. Reboot as soon as possible. Now, this is very wrong, /boot/initrd points to initrd-2.6.34.7-0.3-default which does not exists and therefore rebooting renders the server unusable. /lib/mkinitrd/setup/81-cifs.sh points to ../scripts/setup-cifs.sh, which does not exists any more. Surprisingly, running mkinitrd now creates the initrd just fine: bash# mkinitrd egrep: /lib/mkinitrd/setup/81-cifs.sh: No such file or directory Scanning scripts ... Resolve dependencies ...
