+Maybe an ordering issue?
+Though in my mga1 to cauldron upgrade tests, ordering was OK
+We would need update logs from people actually having the issue.
+
+Although there does be some ordering issues:
+- plymouth should requires mkinitrd
+- kernels should require makedev & sound-scripts (for
+/etc/modprobe.d/snd-oss.conf)
+  (/etc/sysconfig/keyboard does't exit when doing a urpmi --urpmi-root test)
+
+BTW initrd-desktop.img & the like links got blindly updated whereas
+the initrd was
+successfully generated or not.
+We should test for file existence before symlinking IMHO...
+
+See logs:
