Centos 5 update breaks drbd
 

What needs to be done to keep update from breaking kmod packages when
the kernel is updated? This happens more often that not, and is a PIA
on production boxes.
I've added a comment to http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3186 -
there may be others...

thx,
jerry

I agree.

I have to run a script that uninstalls kmod-* modules and reinstalls them to
make kernel updates actually work. At least for kmod-drbd82 and kmod-xfs,
the only ones I'm using.

The old way, which I understand required the modules to be specially built
for each kernel, worked better.

Not complaining, since it's free, but if anyone thinks this is actually
working right, I just have to say it isn't.

Since when does a workable solution to the user become a problem for
them to fix?
This is a regression, not a feature request.

I tried to reproduce the trouble reported here but all went fine. I
have updated the bug tracker with the details.

I dont have any such problem either, which is why I asked the OP to
figure out what is going on with his machine.

I think James would still like to know what yum and yum-kmod you are
using, and what the OP was using.

I'm running kernel-xen, if it matters, and drbd *not* drbd82, which
might matter. Some time back, I added excludes in yum.conf to be sure:
exclude=*i386 *i686 kernel kmod-drbd drbd82 kmod-drbd82 kmod-drbd82-xen

[root@app1 ~]# rpm -qa *drbd*
kmod-drbd-xen-8.0.13-2
drbd-8.0.13-1.el5.centos

[root@app1 ~]# rpm -qa *yum*
yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1

I don't have yum-kmod, should I?

Thanks,
jerry

OK, some more development in the bug tracker. It seems to me that
your system is in good, working conditions and kmod-drbd was installed
just as expected in the right place.
