Well, at this point kernel module support isn't supposed to be in Yum
propper. Current CVS of anaconda shows that call commented out (line
562). And that's the correct answer here, anaconda should not be
calling that function. In fact, Jeremy, see attached.
With what may be a new job and RHEL 5 looking like it will be completely
Yum based I'll have a lot more time/ability to sit down and work on that
plugin so it doesn't suck.
Jeremy, how are you planning to handle Yum plugins in Anaconda?
