RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.dep
/lib/modules/3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64/modules.dep.bin
/lib/modules/3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64/modules.devname

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

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
