That isn't the point of the RFE. If kernel-modules-extra is installed, there should normally be a copy installed by default for each kernel. So that when you do a yum update, kernel-modules-extra doesn't get removed for the previous kernel. Unless I am greatly confused this will not install kernel-modules-extra by default when you don't already have it installed. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
