Hi all,
I ran up2date and selected the latest kernel (kernel-2.4.21-9.EL with the
corresponding SMP and utils version)
At the end of download and install, up2date display the following message in
the console, and I had to click cancel:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py ", line 2069, in doInstallation
kernelsToInstall = up2date.installPackages(self.selectedPkgList,
self.rpmCallback)

installPackages
runPkgSpecialCases(pkgList)
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2date.py ", line 729, in

[providesPackages[provideName]])

__install_lilo(kernelList)
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2date.py ", line 842, in __install_lilo
ret = lilocfg.installNewImages(kernelList,test=0)
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/lilocfg.py ", line 384, in
installNewImages
raise LiloConfError( "test install of lilo failed ")
up2date_client.lilocfg.LiloConfError: Error installing lilo.conf The message
was:
test install of lilo failed
However, running /sbin/lilo manually turns out just find, and as far as I can
see /etc/lilo.conf is setup correctly (included below). I have not rebooted
the machine to see if it actually work. Should I put this in bugzilla ?
Here is lilo.conf:

install=/boot/boot.b
