Agreed. At the same time, I believe there is a class of user in between casual consumer and developer that wants to rebuild their kernel for whatever reasons (preemptive kernel or Core2, that kind of thing) that this will affect. > Do you have a different method you can propose to determine if the > kernel has changed? One solution is for the dkms_autoinstaller script to *always* build for any given combination. If that doesn't appeal, when building maybe save an md5sum of /lib/modules/$kernel/modules.symbols (produced by depmod) to /var/lib/dkms/$module_in_tree/$version_in_tree/$kernel, and compare it when getting 'dkms status ...'? --- Admittedly, that's just off the top of my head. Not at all sure that would work...
