Hide Forgot
I'm trying to do a kernel update today on my rawhide, but yum fails with dependency issues.

I'm running rawhide on this machine for a few weeks now and updated kernel & the modules several times, but I've never seen this happen before.
It's saying that your installed kmdl packages require a kernel your update is set to remove. This is correct. It's the packages you already have installed that will be broken by the upgrade.
