I recently built and installed kernel version 3.15.0-rc1 following the KernelBuild article on kernelnewbies.org. Everything went smooth and my system is running fine. However when performing an update via (sudo yum update) the dependencies failed requiring "kernel-devel-uname-r=3.13.10". uname-r returns "3.15.0-rc1" as expected.
Is there a way to get yum to recognize the latest kernel I built? Or does that require updating the kernel's source RPM?
I'm running Fedora 20 and am new to kernel building. Yum's error message is included below:
Error: Package: 10:buildsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs-current-20-19.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates) Requires: kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64 Installed: kernel-devel-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 (@anaconda) kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 Installed: kernel-devel-3.13.9-200.fc20.x86_64 (@updates) kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.13.9-200.fc20.x86_64 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Hi Amber, I think that the easiest solution to your problem is install the Fedora kernel RPM "3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64" as requested, just to circumvent this dependency error. You can continue running the custom kernel that you built, choosing it during the boot process (GRUB menu). I also think that is a good idea to install your custom kernel through RPM. It's easy to create a custom kernel RPM package with the command "make rpm-pkg" Regards. -- Augusto Mecking Caringi
