Description Alaa Hleihel 2013-09-01 12:21:07 UTC

Description of problem:
i created a kmod rpm for a kernel package, but the installation of the rpm failed with the following error on RHEL7.0 Alpha3:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Preparing...                          ################################# [100%]
        file /lib/modules/3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64/modules.devname from install of kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel-2.0-OFED.2.0.9.9.9.20130827.0822.g11932fd.rhel7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kernel-3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

(Note: On RHEL6.x the rpm was built and installed successfully).


Only on RHEL 7.0 (Alpha3) the following files were included in the kmod rpm:
/lib/modules/3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64/modules.alias
/lib/modules/3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64/modules.alias.bin
/lib/modules/3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64/modules.builtin.bin

/lib/modules/3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64/modules.symbols.bin


**** On RHEL6.x none of the above files was part of the kmod rpm.

It is not a RHEL-6 issue if its occuring on RHEL-7 alpha, adjusting product accordingly and component to redhat-rpm-macros which is where the kmod macros come from.

Hi, Alaa,

I think this bug is a duplicate of bz1029867,
we can use bz1029867 to track this issue.

thanks

I'm having the same problem.
The bugs referenced in Comment4 by Weiping Pan leads me to a page showing in red "You are not authorized to access bug #1029867."

Where/how can I track this issue? Thanks

Got the same issue on my end. Any chance we get an update on this?

Hi,

You need to add the following command to the install section in your spec file (after "make -C %{kernel_source $flavor} modules_install M=$PWD/obj/$flavor"):

# Cleanup unnecessary kernel-generated module dependency files.
find $INSTALL_MOD_PATH/lib/modules -iname 'modules.*' -exec rm {} \;


You can find more details in the DUP book for RHEL7:
http://people.redhat.com/wpan/doc/rhel7/docs/How_to_Create_a_Driver_Update_Package_on_RHEL7_v0.1.pdf

Thanks,
Alaa
