Description Arthur Poór 2012-01-26 20:31:54 CET
The "drakboot" program crashed. Drakbug-13.58 caught it.

Overview:
I tried to modify an entry that I added via edit the menu.lst file by hand before.

----------------------------

Steps to reproduce:
1) change the kernel and/or initram version string by write directly in the textbox, as opposed to browse the file.

----------------------------

Additional information:
The entry was:
title CentOS
root (hd0,5)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/CentOS-centos_root rd_LVM_LV=CentOS/centos_root rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8  KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=hu rd_NO_MD quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb crashkernel=auto rd_NO_DM nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau
        initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64.img

----------------------------

Backtrace was:
mkinitrd failed:
(mkinitrd -f (hd0,5)/initramfs-2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64.img 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm line 124.
