Description Barry Donahue 2008-03-07 21:44:15 UTC
Description of problem:I install the PAE kernel on the system but the kmod will
not install. I tried this after installing the PAE kernel and again after I
booted on the PAE kernel. Both fail.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Dom0 is RHEL5.2-Server-20080306.0
Client is RHEL-5-Server/U1
kmod-xenpv-PAE-0.1-7.el5.i686.rpm
uname -a: Linux dhcp78-213.lab.boston.redhat.com 2.6.18-53.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Oct
10 16:48:18 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:Every time on AMD.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.install the PAE kernel
2.try to install the kmod-xenpv.
3.
  
Actual results:It fails with this error: 
# rpm -ivh kmod-xenpv-PAE-0.1-7.el5.i686.rpm 
  error: Failed dependencies:
        kernel-PAE-i686 is needed by kmod-xenpv-PAE-0.1-7.el5.i686



Expected results: The rpm should install.

Please run the following & post a reply:

(1) uname -a after kernel install

(2) rpm --query --qf %{ARCH} kernel

(3) rpm --query --qf
%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}"\t"%{ARCH}"\t"%{OBSOLETENAME}"\n" kernel

Comment 3 Don Dutile (Red Hat) 2008-03-10 23:25:19 UTC
Try out xenpv-0.1-8.el5 in brew.
This should fix the install failure.

Please post a reply whether it does or does not.

Comment 4 Barry Donahue 2008-03-31 15:19:24 UTC
This bug has been fixed by a new spin of the package.
