Upon the very first install of a kmdl yum just picks one and may pick one for the wrong kernel. The way to overcome this is to use yum install foo foo-kmdl-`uname -r` to guide yum to pick the proper first kmdl. > I've installed various modules from ATrpms by simply downloading the > ones I want and manually install them.

For subsequent updates of this kmld one can use yum-plugin-kmdl. It deals properly with kmdl upgrades, e.g. co selects them for on kernel upgrades. It just doesn't have logic to aid yum in selecting the very fist one (which does seem quite hard to do as a plugin). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
