Hello,

Looks like maybe it is trying to remove older kmods and your kernels installed need them.

Here is a list what I have installed:
kernel-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32.14-127.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.14-127.fc12.x86_64-195.36.31-1.fc12.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64-195.36.15-1.fc12.2.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.x86_64-195.36.31-1.fc12.1.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64-195.36.24-1.fc12.2.x86_64

[steelaworkn]

OK. Thanks Scott...I think I've got this.

My theory was that something was lazy and didn't write in the right stuff so I did

"yum reinstall akmod-nvidia"

I rebooted and then did my updates. Looks like that did the trick. It is still working. We will soon see.

Nope, my idea did not work. I'll compare your kmods with mine Scott.

So, what do I do now. All my kernel files are:

kernel.x86_64 2.6.33.4-95.fc13 @anaconda-InstallationRepo-201005130101.x86_64
kernel.x86_64 2.6.33.5-112.fc13 @updates
kernel.x86_64 2.6.33.5-124.fc13 @updates
kernel-devel.x86_64 2.6.33.4-95.fc13 @anaconda-InstallationRepo-201005130101.x86_64
kernel-devel.x86_64 2.6.33.5-112.fc13 @updates
kernel-devel.x86_64 2.6.33.5-124.fc13 @updates
kernel-headers.x86_64 2.6.33.5-124.fc13 @updates

So, aren't those the latest ones? Why is it trying to regress backwards?

[scott32746]

Are you running F12 or F13 ?
It is trying to install F12
Look in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ and make sure you are loading from the correct repos

[steelaworkn]

I am running f13 64 bit.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM CDT ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM CDT ----------

Ok, I'm looking at those files and there is really nothing in them that define F12 or F13. It all looks generic. I updated from 12 to 13 the same week it was available.

Not sure if this belongs here, but I'm seeing something different with updates today.



delta rpms? Why now? Is this an anomaly? Never seen it do this before with updates.

If I have any issues with kmod-nvidia, I'll let you know. I'm on an Nvidia 7300 GT card, on 32-bit. Thanks.

[scott32746]

Steelaworkn,
may need to see if there is any OLD FC12 rpms on your server
I cam up with this , tere maybe a better way to see
rpm -qa |grep fc12

Yep, there are too many to list. So...maybe that's my problem?

[scott32746]

You said that you did an update today.
try this rpm -qa --last | less to see if you got F12 or F13

Here is a program I found that is to remove OLD rpm.
I have not used it or warranty it.

Actually, I attempted to do an update but it all stopped at the debugging issue. It says the last major update was July 2nd. There is no record of kmod or kernels being updated past the 2nd.

I'm hoping there is a fix for this as I don't want to have to do a clean install of F13.

[funtapaz]

Shot in the dark, but this worked for me.

yum remove kmod-nvidia*fc12* or akmod-nvidia*fc12*

Removed the offending packages, update currently seems to be working flawlessly.

I did give this a shot. It did finally update. Thanks. I haven't rebooted the machine yet. I'll reboot and let you know.

So, what about all the old fc12 packages still installed?

When I turned my computer on this morning all was at it should be. It turned on fine. So, I think my original post was solved. Think I'll start another thread on how to clear all the old packages out.

[rudra-b]

i faced the same problem.
i just yum eraseed the files in
$rpm -qa|grep kmod|grep fc12
and its fine(yet to be rebooted)
