Then again, the hooks for dkms in RHEL/Fedora/Centos is not as good as they are in ubuntu, in the sense that modules will be built by default when the new kernel boots, which makes it somewhat not-so-useful for disk drivers. I had to modify module-init-tools to make dkms build a new kernel module (and initrd) immediately whenever a new kernel is installed. > Yum's "fault" is that it is too fragile against such changes, other > depsolvers like apt and smart are more forgiving.

Its very nice, but with kernel modules out of the way I haven't had any need to activate the plugin.
