Okay, I just did a quick test on one of my kmod-forcedeth systems. After installing the testing kernel my weak-updates links for this driver do not exist: # rpm -q kernel kernel-3.10.0-514.21.2.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-514.26.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 # pwd /lib/modules # find . -name forcedeth.ko -ls 612005 108 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109760 Jun 16 2016 ./3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/extra/forcedeth/forcedeth.ko 11290331 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 63 Jun 21 15:23 ./3.10.0-514.21.2.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/forcedeth/forcedeth.ko -> /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/extra/forcedeth/forcedeth.ko 224434 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 63 Aug 9 08:07 ./3.10.0-514.26.1.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/forcedeth/forcedeth.ko -> /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/extra/forcedeth/forcedeth.ko I did not reboot the node, since clearly my forcedeth driver is not there for this new kernel; removing this new kernel for now .. cheers, etc. -- deatrich @ triumf.ca, Science/ATLAS PH: +1 604-222-7665 <*> This moment's fortune cookie: Leveraging always beats prototyping.
