All the symbols mentioned on comment #0 are provided by kernel-debug-2.6.18-226.el5, but not by 2.6.18-227.el5. Does this mean that it is impossible to make a kmod for kernel-debug that works across kernel versions (like the kmods for non-debug kernels)? Adding Jon Masters to CC. For reference: the kmods for kernel-debug were added for bug #517565. Yea, we don't support ABI on debug kernels sorry. (In reply to comment #4) > Yea, we don't support ABI on debug kernels sorry. I just noticed that the module can be loaded against a newer kernel. Do the 'kernel(*)' provides from kernel-debug mean anything? I could simply ignore the automatic requires on kmod-kvm-debug, and expect the user to install a compatible kernel. Not a perfect solution, but it is better than not providing any module for kernel-debug. Jon, what do you think? Basically, those provides are there, but there's no guarantee backing them not changing. You could just turn off the deps for the debug kernel and tell the user they must have the right kernel (which you can describe), etc. Since it's only the debug kernel and only intended for specific testing, probably ok for now. We should come up with a better solution if this is needed elsewhere, but the whole thing is different in RHEL6 anyway. according to comment 11,set this issue status as verified. great An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0028.html |
