installing a kernel gives fatal "non fatal error"
Running Transaction
Installing : kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64

Non-fatal POSTTRANS scriptlet failure in rpm package
kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64
Installed:
kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.40.4-5.fc15
Complete!
Only it's not, there's no initramfs and the system won't boot. My system's
been like it for a while now, the only fix seems to be to run dracut
manually inside of "sh -x"
Running dracut in bash with no arguments works correctly, running with the
two arguments:
dracut initramfs-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64.img 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64
should make me a lovely initramfs, but instead prints out the instructions
for using dracut. This command works correctly under sh -x
So, my two questions. Firstly, not having an initramfs would strike me as
a very fatal error, not a non-fatal error, why does this happen?
Second, does anyone have any pointers as to how I can fix this, it's very
frustrating!
