For this very specific issue (where kernel and kernel-devel version does not match, but the appropriate variant is installed), I have a suggested a patch from the kernel.
But this patch depends on the ability to allow Boolean dependencies on Requires (it wouldn't work with Suggests/Recommends) https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/ker...@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/6KCGSOP77VEGRC5UNC2FMRFEPEY2WSQ5/ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1450577 > Case B) third party video or wireless driver same issue no kernel-devel, no > wireless no internet == fix by sneakernet So, as I understand this issue, you are suggesting to have the kernel-devel on the install media ? But then it would probably requires gcc and others dependencies if not already there. -- - Nicolas (kwizart) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
