https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182318 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182318#c1 --- Comment #1 from Michal Suchanek --- The posttrans scripts are not executed when zypper fails or crashes, and rpm does not track script execution status so the scripts are never retried. Possible mitigations: - tell grub scripts that initrd is needed for packaged kernels (eg place a file together with the kernel) and make grub not list kernels that lack initd in menu - instead of creating initrd synchronously set a flag that initrd is to be created and start initrd creation in the background. If the flag is set again the initrd is re-created once finished. In posttrans wait for background creation to finish. background initrd creation with restart already used by kdump service. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

On the other hand placing an extra file alongside the kernel is static, and easy to check by the grub scripts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

The actual bootloader installation scripts are responsible to get the kernel into the boot partition from there. That nicely fits the usrmerge idea to have all OS in /usr. I think we need to sit down in a broader group to design how we want to handle this in the longer run. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
