Thanks! 
$ sudo rpm -q --scripts kernel|tail -2
posttrans scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/bin/kernel-install add
3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64 /boot/vmlinuz-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64 || exit $?

This is all I get. Not sure what it means/how to check the exit return
code.

How does one debug the /bin/kernel-install script?

Thanks! I will look around, but judging by how no one has complained on
this list or pointed to a BZ entry, perhaps not.

Many thanks again, and best wishes!
