This looks like the same problem I had. Previously I had done a yum update which picked up a new kernel and the correct nvidia kmdl (from atrpms). Dec 9 13:43:11 quoth yum: Installed: nvidia-graphics100.14.19-kmdl-2.6.23.8-34.fc7 - 1:100.14.19-92.fc7.i686 On the 12 yum was updated Dec 12 07:26:47 quoth yum: Updated: yum - 3.2.8-2.fc7.noarch Recently I did a yum update and it picked the i586 nvidia kmdl version Using yum-3.2.8-2.fc7 yum: Installed: nvidia-graphics169.07-kmdl-2.6.23.8-34.fc7 - 1:169.07-94.fc7.i586 I also deleted everything and reinstalled nvidia-graphics and it still picked the i586 kmdl. I had to manually install the correct kmdl. yum: Installed: nvidia-graphics169.07-kmdl-2.6.23.8-34.fc7 - 1:169.07-94.fc7.i686 Addendum to my post: I forgot to mention in this report that I'm talking about Quad-core Xeon based servers. This means that not i586 but i686 should be used at all points. This concludes that not only did yum screw up the kmdl arch. matching to the running kernel, but before doing that, it also updated the kernel to the wrong arch. (i586 instead of the i686). So simply put, first it removes the old kernel and replaces it with i586 arch. update - which is wrong. Then it tries to install the correct actual arch. from the kmdl (i686 as indicated by my list above), however it disregards or fails to see the fact that the kernel that is actually installed is i586... So, two mistakes instead of one. Can either of you replicate these issues under yum 3.2.12 from rawhide? We've solved a lot of dep resolution bugs since december. thanks I wasn't sure how to get yum from rawhide so I downloaded yum-3.2.12-4.fc9.noarch.rpm yum-updatesd-0.9-1.fc8.noarch.rpm from koji and installed with yum upgrade yum-3.2.12-4.fc9.noarch.rpm yum-updatesd-0.9-1.fc8.noarch.rpm. After this yum install nvidia-graphics still pulls the i586 version ... ---> Package nvidia-graphics169.12.i386 1:169.12-96.fc7 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: nvidia-graphics169.12-kmdl-1:169.12-96.fc7 for package: nvidia-graphics169.12 --> Running transaction check ---> Package nvidia-graphics169.12-kmdl-2.6.23.15-80.fc7.i586 1:169.12-96.fc7 set to be updated ... uname -a Linux quoth.pdp8online.com 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:29:10 EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping something we may not have covered before - do you have an /etc/rpm/platform file? and if so what's in it? Yes I do. Its contents are athlon-redhat-linux Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
