Dkms_autoinstaller on SLES9 and SLES10 fails

[Charles_Rose at Dell.com]

Hello,

I tried installing dkms-2.0.17-1 on SLES9 and SLES10. The install succeeds but with this message:

  dkms_autoinstaller: unknown service

The same is seen when I uninstall dkms. chkconfig is causing the message:

 /sbin/chkconfig dkms_autoinstaller on

This might be a problem with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_initrddir} in the dkms.spec file instead of the older (2.0.13) $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller. _initrddir points to /etc/rc.d/init.d. 

On RHEL, this works as intended - /etc/rc.d/init.d/ is where dkms_autoinstaller is copied to.

On SLES, /etc/rc.d -> init.d (rc.d is a softlink) so rpm creates a new dir - /etc/init.d/init.d and dkms_autoinstaller is copied to /etc/init.d/init.d

Thanks,
Charles
