As these are different packages, installation process do not recognize previous installation and "File exists" error appears. 2] Installing package for different kernel - let say kmod-virtio-smp on hugemem system. In this case, modules can't be inserted and "Wrong number of arguments" error appears. Created attachment 367461 [details]
