I first learned of dkms on the PCLinuxOS list. I still run one PCLinuxOS box in my workshop. They don't undergo kernel upgrades anywhere near as frequently as Fedora. But that box has survived a number of them, and after a year and a half, is still managing to build the needed modules each time. However, I don't recall whether any of those included a major kernel version upgrade. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
