What is it in the Plus kernel that you need and cant be packaged into a kmod itself ?

Ehm, nothing...

I just need a kernel that both has a kmod-drbd and kmod-gnbd. I don't believe that this is the case for the current Plus kernel.

This is my problem: [root@bartje log]# yum install kmod-gnbd kmod-drbd Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Thanks.

if you open an issue report for this situation at http://bugs.centos.org/ we'll see what can be done

Bart ... there is a kmod-drbd for the regular kernel in extras.

You DO NOT NEED the plus kernel to use drbd.

I would not use yum to install kmod stuff ... I so download and upgrade all those by hand personally.
