[Spacewalk-list] Schedule kernel upgrade result in kernel panic

[Robert Paschedag]

Only know this when using SLES you can look in /var/log/zypper/history as this is just RPMs that are updated. I don't know if there is anything similar with yum.The rebuild of the initramfs should be triggered from the post install scripts within the RPM. There should be no difference.
