Is there any "formal" mechanizism by which after a yum update , and kernel change that "drivers" can automatically be recompiled and a service restarted?
Do I need to make my own?
Thanks,
Jerry

DKMS works for this. see dag's repo and how the nvidia drivers and others are handled.

Depending on the driver, use of weak-updates is possible ,and if so, maybe an easier method.

Dkms is one option. It can re-compile modules and reinstall them, but it takes some initial work to get it started.
