What needs to be done to keep update from breaking kmod packages when the kernel is updated? This happens more often that not, and is a PIA on production boxes. I've added a comment to http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3186 - there may be others...
I agree.
I have to run a script that uninstalls kmod-* modules and reinstalls them to make kernel updates actually work. At least for kmod-drbd82 and kmod-xfs, the only ones I'm using.
The old way, which I understand required the modules to be specially built for each kernel, worked better.
Not complaining, since it's free, but if anyone thinks this is actually working right, I just have to say it isn't.
