Description Jon Masters 2011-07-13 03:23:07 UTC
Description of problem:

The existing Driver Update Disks contain RPM packages that provide a "kernel-modules" dependency. In existing Driver Update Disks, the dependency provided is sufficient due to special logic in Anaconda. However, future Driver Update Disks must provide "kernel-modules >= kernel-version" and not "kernel-modules = kernel-version". This change will be required in RHEL6.2.

Noticed that redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-RHEL6.2-ksyms-fixes.patch aparently contains fix for this. Verified.
