Revision history [back]

For some reason, these files are marked as %ghost in the rpm .spec file, which means that rpm -V does not check these files. What you can do is:

rpm -ql --dump kernel-core | grep boot

Notice the long string of hexadecimal numbers in the fourth field. This is the sha256sum for each file. You can then compare that with the output of

sha256sum /boot/vmlinuz* /boot/config* /boot/System.map*

The initramfs is almost always recreated after installation, and would therefore not match.

Why the files are %ghost I have no idea.
