+</I>
+Well, that was kinda my thought too, but the kernel itself does have a
+&quot;Requires(Pre): dracut &gt;= 016-1&quot; which really should take care of the
+ordering.
+
+&gt;<i> Though in my mga1 to cauldron upgrade tests, ordering was OK

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Although there does be some ordering issues:
+</I>&gt;<i> - plymouth should requires mkinitrd
+</I>
+Oh right yeah.
+
+&gt;<i> - kernels should require makedev &amp; sound-scripts (for
+</I>&gt;<i> /etc/modprobe.d/snd-oss.conf)
+</I>
+Hmm, not sure they should require sound-scripts.... Sound is not
+essential after all. And regardless, snd-oss.conf is an alternatives
+thing anyway these days, so should it also require osspd to get the
+&quot;preferred&quot; alternative? I don't think so.
+
+Can you explain your thinking a bit more on the sound-scripts thing?
+
+EDIT: never mind I see what you mean from the log output below...
+
+Possibly just that sound-scripts actually needs a require on
+libalsa-data which at very least provides the alsa sound profile which
+would make that snd-oss.conf symlink exist....
+
+I'd guess that the link to the &quot;current&quot; sound profile symlink is
+missing and thus that file goes nowhere.... Can you check the ordering
+to see when libalsa-data was installed - I'm guessing later than 224...
+
+
+Also not sure about makedev... how important is that these days with
+udev and the like? Is it just for the /dev/mem issue? If so can we find
+where it's used and factor it out if it's not available? AFAICT it's not
+in dracut, so I'm guessing somewhere in out bootloader scripts?
+
+
+&gt;<i> (/etc/sysconfig/keyboard does't exit when doing a urpmi --urpmi-root test)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> BTW initrd-desktop.img &amp; the like links got blindly updated whereas
+</I>&gt;<i> the initrd was
+</I>&gt;<i> successfully generated or not.
+</I>&gt;<i> We should test for file existence before symlinking IMHO...
+</I>
+Yeah. I still can't actually work out why my home (mga1) system doesn't
+update the -desktop links properly :s
+
+&gt;<i> See logs:

+I guess this is why makedev is wanted?

+Hmm, not sure why that's being reported as an error... should just be a
+check to perform to decide whether or not the network module can be
+included IMO... Will ask upstream.
