How about making kernel-firewire depend on the exact version of the kernel? Then make sure the updated kernel-firewire package is release before or simultaneously with the new kernel package. In this case, if you do 'yum update kernel', won't yum see that that kernel-firewire needs to be upgraded also? If yum can't do this, how hard would it be to add the logic? I've not thought this through in any depth, so I won't be surprised, Set, if there's a good reason you can't easily do this. :) David
