See <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/KernelModules> for more info about Fedora/RHEL (don't know whether this is up-to-date info). Also look at RH spec files, like RHEL5's gfs-kmod.spec and gnbd-kmod.spec. I guess the specific problem you describe is probably related to not having a "Provides: kernel-modes = %{kverrel}" in your spec file (%{kverrel} should be whatever your macro/expression is that holds the kernel version/release you're building for). -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
