mkinitrd and kernel dependency problem

[Steven Moix]

Hi all,

In case you didn't notice, there is a problem with yum since around a
week (or more), the kernel tries to update itself but can't find an
updated version of mkinitrd. Here is an example (standard repositories,
yum clean all done):

[root at ev67 ~]# yum update
alphacore-updates         100% |=========================| 1.9 kB     
primary.sqlite.bz2        100% |=========================| 1.2 MB    
alphacore                 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB

Could you have a look at this please? I'm asking it on the list because
maybe you didn't notice it on your development machines :)
