Package: elilo Version: 3.12-3.1 Severity: serious elilo seems to have a similar issue to #594479. If the elilo package is installed in the filesystem but it is not configured to install the first stage in the boot partition, kernel upgrades may fail. Please implement this change to the kernel hooks / boot loader policy:
"Boot loader packages must be installable on the filesystem in a disabled state where they will not write to the boot sector or other non-filesystem storage. While a boot loader is disabled, any kernel and initramfs hooks it includes must do nothing except (optionally) printing a warning that the boot loader is disabled, and must exit successfully." I believe elilo already complies with the first part of this.
