Went though the first 10 responses from a google query on redhat.com and module.info. The gist of the data suggests that the file /boot/module-info-$(KERNELVERSION) is totally unnecessary and can be (with the sym link pointing to it) deleted without trouble arising. If this is so, saying so was as easy as suggentign google If not, the results of using google are misleading. google is NOT my friend very often! Clarifications solicited.

This has been discussed periodically on various lists at redhat.com in the past. Limiting Google queries to the lists should turn up something. -- -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
