Hi Niels, Thanks a lot for such a prompt response. Actually, I am new to this stuff so I need to clarify this a bit more. Are you saying that if 'PreReq' is used instead of 'Requires' in .spec then the kernel rpm would install before my RPM??
Thanks again, Richard

But, the problem lies in the order in which the packages get installed. There is a 3rd party RPM which needs the kernel source to get installed, but the kernel's rpm get installed after the 3rd party RPM. Due to which the installation of my 3rd party RPM fails!

I am not able to figure out how to change the packages installation order so that kernel rpm could install before my rpm.
The .spec of your 3rd-party RPM should probably use PreReq instead of Requires for the kernel sources.
Hope that helps, Niels
