Hmm, I have to disagree:
First check the current kernelversion: [root@bartje ~]# uname -a Linux bartje 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Mon Jul 16 08:49:50 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Check for kmod-drbd: [root@bartje ~]# modprobe drbd [root@bartje ~]# lsmod | grep drbd drbd 180488 1
Install the gnbd-kernel mod. We do want to keep the current kernel, so we exclude it now: [root@bartje ~]# yum install kmod-gnbd --exclude=kernel Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for kmod-gnbd to pack into transaction set. kmod-gnbd-0.1.3-4.2.6.18_ 100% |=========================| 4.2 kB 00:00 ---> Package kmod-gnbd.i686 0:0.1.3-4.2.6.18_8.1.6.el5 set to be installed --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 for package: kmod-gnbd --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 is needed by package kmod-gnbd
Oops.. Do we have the extra repro? [root@bartje ~]# grep extra /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-* /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo:[extras] /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo:mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo:#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/
Jeps, and it's enabled (but that's not shown :P )
But what if we do allow the kernel to be updated/changed?
[root@bartje ~]# yum install kmod-gnbd Loading "installonlyn" plugin
<SNIP!>

That will remove kmod-drbd, which I need...

Hi all,
I am using heartbeat and drbd on CentOS 5 (see http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7816&forum=41 for details)..
DRBD and heartbeat are working, and now I want to put GNBD on top on this. However, I installed the latest CentOS-plus kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.centos.plus) but there doesn't appear to be a kmod-gndb for this kernel.
Looks like the latest kmod-gnbd is available for kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5. But I cannot find a kmod-drbd for this kernel. Am I missing something or is this worth a entry in the buglist?
Tnx!
That kmod is in extras repo:
