this is not a bug. kernel-unsupported *cannot* REquire: the kernel since you have to be able to install it before you install the kernel itself (so that unsupported modules can go into the initrd) |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922 Description of problem: The kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-4.EL rpm is willing to install itself on a system that does not have a 2.4.21-4.EL kernel. I installed RHEL3.1 WS on a laptop that needed a PCMCIA based network card. Using the RHEL3 CD's I installed the kernel-unsupported rpm found on the CD. The result was a useless deposit of modules into a different kernel /lib/modules directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-4.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot a RHEL3.1 system with a 2.4.21-9.EL kernel only 2.ls /lib/modules # we only have 2.4.21-9.EL subdir 3.rpm -ivh kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-4.EL.rpm 4.ls /lib/modules # rpm created 2.4.21-4.EL Actual Results: Installed modules for a kernel that is not installed. Expected Results: rpm would complain about a missing dependency Additional info:
