Re: Why xenU in grub.conf

Hi, tournesol and all

The reason is that kernel-xenU of FC use the same post-intall-tools 
as native kernel. (Probably kdump also have the same issue.)
I also think this is unhappy.

I think the better %post is like the below.
(this is a sample code, not tested.)
If necessary, I'll make a patch. :-)

-------kernel.spec---------
%post xenU
[ ! -x /usr/sbin/module_upgrade ] || /usr/sbin/module_upgrade 
%{rpmversion}-%{release}-xenU
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel-xenU --mkinitrd --depmod --noconfig 
--install %{KVERREL}xenU
[ ! -x /sbin/ldconfig ] || /sbin/ldconfig -X
