Something like this $ diff -u openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec.orig openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec --- openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec.orig 2012-07-24 12:16:14.000000000 +0200 +++ openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec 2012-07-25 21:02:48.494383158 +0200 @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ URL: http://openvswitch.org/ Source0: %{oname}-%{version}.tar.gz BuildRoot: %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX) -BuildRequires: %kernel_module_package_buildreqs +BuildRequires: %kernel_module_package_buildreqs,kabi-whitelists # Without this we get an empty openvswitch-debuginfo package (whose name # conflicts with the openvswitch-debuginfo package for OVS userspace).

We have to wait until redhat-rpm-config package is updated to reflect changes in kabi-whitelists-20120516-1.el6 I also put a note to the bugzilla in the mean time. You could also specify in INSTALL.RHEL to make a link # ln -s /lib/modules/kabi-current /lib/modules/kabi if the system doesn't have a patch...
