There's a thinko here somewhere. You need to protect the kernel package or the dependencies of the kmod* packages, if you cannot ensure that a kernel update [and all its updated deps] is fully compatible feature-wise. Have you experimented with yum.conf's protected_packages yet? Alternatively, increase the installonly_limit value to allow for many more kernel updates to be installed in parallel without removing older ones. As a last resort, create an own local package that depends on stuff you don't want to have removed. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
