Dave, could you do me a small favor and in situations like this (and
more important: in the devel tree) please mention why a new mkinitrd is
needed (if possible without much hassle)? tia!
It's not that important, but would be nice to know now and then --
especially in situations I often run into: downloaded a new kernel on
machine foo, put it on a USB stick, go with it to computer bar, try to
install it with rpm directly because the old kernel has no network
support for that machine and fail because I need a new mkinitrd... if I
knew that a new mkinitrd is just needed for some obscure bug I then
might just use "--nodeps" instead of going back to machine foo to
download the the new mkinitrd .
