Yes, kernel modules usually have to be rebuilt for each new kernel package, especially for Fedora or self compiled kernels (RHEL tried to keep the kernel abi stable). There is a yum plugin called yum-plugin-kmdl that automatically takes care of that during yum update or yum install kernel-1.2.3. If that doesn't work or you are using smart/apt etc. you need to use somthing like smart install foo-kmdl-`uname -r` Where foo is the name of the kernel module (here gspcav1) and uname -r returns the kernel version/release of the currently running kernel. Instead of `uname -r` you can use a kernel version/release of any kernel of course, both older ones and ones to be installed. But the yum kmdl plugin is much easier :) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
