http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555222 Summary: zypper dup should check if mkinitrd succeeds Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mail@philipp-wagner.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.0) Gecko/20090623 SUSE/3.5.0-7.1 Firefox/3.5 I updated from 11.1 to 11.2 using zypper dup. My /boot partition was full and mkinitd during the installation of the kernel image probably failed. I didn't see the message as I let the update run unattended and only saw the last lines of output from zypper dup, which seemed to suggest that everything went ok. When rebooting I got a "kernel panic: attempted to kill init". Fortunately I had another kernel installed and were able to boot, remove some old files from /boot and call mkinitrd again. Now the system boots fine. A full /boot partition is not that unlikely (the default partition layout suggests a rather small /boot and installing two testkernels is enough to fill it so that mkinitrd fails. Could zypper dup give a summary of errors that happened while installing all packages in the end of the upgrade process so that the user sees this error before rebooting?
