Please show the output from: rpm -q kernel uname -a yum-plugin-elrepo is designed to mask kmod packages from the yum transaction when the required kernel from those packages is not available to yum. In order for the yum-plugin-elrepo to work correctly, all kernels should be available. Unfortunately, because of the differences between RHEL and CentOS, whereby RHEL makes ALL packages continuously available whereas CentOS repositories ONLY contain the latest point release and update packages, yum-plugin-elrepo may not work correctly on CentOS in some circumstances. The workaround is to enable the CentOS vault repository so that all previous kernel packages are available to yum as they are on RHEL. See this bug: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15476 Please try enabling the CentOS vault repo and see if that fixes your issue with yum. Thanks, Phil ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil, That bug report was very helpful. rpm -q kernel kernel-3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-957.12.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64 uname -a : 3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 29 17:46:05 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux When I look at what is in elrepo I get the following : yum --showduplicates list kmod-nvidia Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, nvidia Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.dal10.us.leaseweb.net * elrepo: repos.dfw.lax-noc.com * elrepo-extras: repos.dfw.lax-noc.com * epel: fedora-epel.mirror.lstn.net * extras: mirror.dal10.us.leaseweb.net * nux-dextop: mirror.li.nux.ro * updates: mirror.dal10.us.leaseweb.net Installed Packages kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo @elrepo Available Packages kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.14-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.26-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.34-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo elrepo As you can see I get both 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo as being present. If I am understanding things properly, yum should pick '_6' over '_7' because my system is running 7.6. I would think that when CentOs7.7 is released this problem will be resolved. I am very thankful of the maintainers of these repos!!!!! Greg _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
