But it couldn't remove the oldest one as it was the running kernel, so it went on to the next one. If that's right then there is some bug in yum's installonlyn kernel logic (if one kernel needs to be skipped it should reduce the number of to be removed kernels by one, not leave it alone). I'd say that the rest is expected behaviour: You asked for the legacy driver that currently points to a version that only offers kmdls for the latest kernel, so the depsolver had to include that kernel into the update. But at least this answers the original question: Yes, the legacy drivers do support 2.6.25. :) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
