This am, I ran "yum update" and it returned "No Packages > marked for Update/Obsoletion". OK, there is a "slight" issue with yum-plugin-kmdl: Due to the nature of the plugin architecture it only kicks in if the normal yum procedure finds that there is something else to update as well. That is if yum w/o any kmdl support thinks that nothing is to be updated the yum-plugin-kmdl code is never executed. Since the kmdls are usually issued very soon after the kernel rpm update most people update the kernel and the kmdls in one sweep with yum-plugin-kmdl. And you always have somethingto update to almost every day. So the chances of o having update to the latest kernel, o the kmdls not being yet available at that time o no other update other than the kmdls exist are very slim, but did hit you. The upcoming kmdl setup will deal w/o a plugin at all, so this will not be an issue anymore, and for now, either wait a day until another regular update is queued in, or use yum install foo-kmdl-`uname -r` -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
