Description:
The test case is really simple. If i have /boot on another partition and if i do not want /boot to be mounted automatically (e.g. i have noauto param in /etc/fstab) then kernel upgrade breaks the system. The solution is to mount /boot BEFORE upgrading the kernel. But it's so easy to forget... I guess kernel install script should check if /boot can be mounted and mount it if needed. Additional info: * package version(s) kernel26 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: while installing arch separate the /boot to another partition and make it not to mount automatically. Next kernel upgarade will break everything |

Put kernel26 in HoldPkg in pacman.conf, and pacman will notify you whenever it wants to upgrade kernel26
