Ok.
_install_config should already install all dependencies in a single
transaction for exactly this reason. If it doesn't, we should fix that.
I take it zypper just does the right thing?
When I call zypper, I'm only passing in the 'kernel' installation request.
zypper resolves any dependencies (such as kernel-base), and installs them as
necessary.
In the case of _install_config, my original changes added both kernel-base and
kernel to a single list, and installed them together to avoid dependency
issues. Changing to the 'app dep' approach with kernel-base does allow the
dependent kernel-base to be installed first, so the next kernel installation
will work. However, it installs the kernel-base package using 'rpm -U' instead
of 'rpm -i'. I decided it would be safer to just construct a new list, and
install them both using the same method.
I'm not convinced. Either IDE devices will be presented as scsi
devices
(default libata), or they won't (non-libata, or udev rewriting to
maintain the legacy behaviour). I'd be surprised to find a configuration
where some IDE devices become SCSI devices, but others don't.
Ok. I won't worry about this possibility then.
Thanks,
Mike
