Since December there have been several kernel updates to the centosplus repository for centos4... but no updates to kmod-xfs or kmod-drbd82. Latest kernel is 2.6.9-78.0.13.plus.c4, but latest kmod-xfs is 2.6.9_78.0.5.plus.c4. Latest drbd82 kmod is also for 78.0.5.

I know there was a mention on the list that these modules are not kernel dependent anymore... but yum and rpm seem to indicate otherwise, and trying to install kmod-xfs-smp or update kmod-drbd82-smp on my servers is not possible.

$ rpm -qRp kmod-xfs-smp-0.4-1.el4.2.6.9_78.0.5.plus.c4.x86_64.rpm /bin/sh /bin/sh /sbin/depmod /sbin/depmod kernel-smp-x86_64 = 2.6.9-78.0.5.plus.c4 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1

Above, the last available version of the module shows a dependency on the 78.0.5 kernel. These modules will of course also install in the wrong /lib/modules/ location.

I've over the last two months opened tickets on bugs.centos.org on the issue (tickets 3360, 3316, 3291). However, these tickets are still new and have had no comments.

Anyone have any advice on dealing with the missing RPMs or the dependency issue? Thanks in advance. -Alan
