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...
thx, jerry

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.

Patches welcome.
Since when does a workable solution to the user become a problem for them to fix? This is a regression, not a feature request.

yes, so investigate what is going on and why / how that kmod can be fixed, let us see a patch.

I tried to reproduce the trouble reported here but all went fine. I have updated the bug tracker with the details.

I dont have any such problem either, which is why I asked the OP to figure out what is going on with his machine.
I think James would still like to know what yum and yum-kmod you are using, and what the OP was using.

I'm running kernel-xen, if it matters, and drbd *not* drbd82, which might matter. Some time back, I added excludes in yum.conf to be sure: exclude=*i386 *i686 kernel kmod-drbd drbd82 kmod-drbd82 kmod-drbd82-xen
[root@app1 ~]# rpm -qa *drbd* kmod-drbd-xen-8.0.13-2 drbd-8.0.13-1.el5.centos

[root@app1 ~]# rpm -qa *yum* yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1
I don't have yum-kmod, should I?
Thanks, jerry

OK, some more development in the bug tracker. It seems to me that your system is in good, working conditions and kmod-drbd was installed just as expected in the right place.

Correct. After the update/reboot which lead to my original post, I removed drbd and kmod-drbd-xen, then installed them.
I may have complicated this by bringing the bug 3186 into play. I'll try to recreate on a clean system, as the sequence of updates may be factor.

I agree. I suggest you file a new bug report when you are ready with the detailed info that would allow others to reproduce the situation.
