I have a relatively new F8 box. I let the update notifier do its update
last night, and got a new kernel. However, there wasn't a matching
nvidia or lirc module. I know how these things happen, but I would have
thought my yum plugins would have prevented it from getting installed:
# rpm -qa | egrep '(kernel|kmdl|kmod|yum-plugin)'
kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.9-85.fc8-169.07-1.lvn8
mikmod-3.2.2-2.fc7
yum-fedorakmod-1.1.10-1.fc8
kernel-headers-2.6.23.14-107.fc8
kmod-nvidia-169.07-1.lvn8
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.23.9-85.fc8-1.0.3-135.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8
yum-kernel-module-1.1.10-1.fc8
yum-plugin-kmdl-0.7-9.fc8
lirc-kmdl-2.6.23.9-85.fc8-0.8.3-73_cvs20071109.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fc8
Shouldn't yum-plugin-kmdl prevent a kernel from installing if the
matching kmdls are not available?
Is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
