Hi,

I know it's not fully supported n stuff, but I upgraded from F15 to F16 and noticed an error during installation of the kernel.

So I haven't restarted, I removed the kernel and reinstalled it again and I still get this error:

Complete!


Is it really non fatal?

I can see it's been added to /boot/grub/grub.conf

title Fedora (3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=791 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=uk
title Fedora (2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64)

        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=791 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=uk
        initrd /initramfs-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64.img

However, I'm a little concerned as there appears to be no initramfs - should there be?

Any pointers'd be helpful :)
