one more problem what i found with this new weak-updates kmod packages that it can't updated ie. the previous version won't be delete with yum. i don't know the reason but may be since it's provides kernel-modules and yum don't update kernel* packages just install it. but imho in this case it'd be better to update it. any suggestions?

Do you really need the previous versions to be deleted? Ophaned kernel modules don't use much space, and are harmless.

In years past I recall it was important to have the right libc. Can we be sure old pg works with new libc? Where are the compatibility libraries?
