Hi, sorry about this bug. We actually fixed it in the sources a while
ago, and due to a mistake on my part, it wasn't propagated into the
9.0 release a few patches ago.
If there is another 9.0 patch release, then it will include the fix.
If that patch release includes a kernel update, you will get bitten by
the bug one more time since your system's existing rpmupdate program
is used to run the update. So, watch for it.
In the 9.1 release, I think we will switch everyone over to using
grub, and rpmupdate can get out of the business of frobbing the boot
loader (/sbin/new-kernel-pkg, run by the kernel %post script, should
take care of everything).
