You find a > workaround here: > http://thorstenl.blogspot.com/2007/11/problems-updating-kernels-and-kmods.html The workaround I tend to use is: # yumdownloader kernel kernel-devel # only do kernel-devel if it's actually installed # rpm -ivh kernel-<newversion> kernel-devel-<newversion> # yum update # yum remove kernel-<oldestversion> # optional This seems to pull in the updated kmods assuming the updated kmods are being pulled in by a "suite" package that is also updated. It also keeps the old kmods in case I want to fall back to an older kernel. -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
