Bug report number?


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239013


Reopened and reassigned. You could have done that too btw.


I wonder what you expect anaconda to do to an already installed system
that someone is removing kernels on. I bet you will find similar bugs
from the kernel/kernel-smp days.

I am not expecting Anaconda to do anything on a installed system but
this problem apparently is because it sets a configuration file incorrect
during installation. Read the bug report.

I did read the bug report:

"I installed fedora core 6 and included the virtualization package group
at install time."

That means /etc/sysconfig/kernel is (correctly) set to the xen kernel by
default by Anaconda.

"I decided I didn't need xen, so I used yumex to remove all the xen
related packages."

Anaconda is not in the picture at this point to change the
/etc/sysconfig/kernel file.

I'm not sure I can see a good place to automatically change the
/etc/sysconfig/kernel after an install.
