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

Note that nothing below talks about 3.15. You've apparently installed it outside of rpm/yum, which is perfectly OK - rpm and yum will silently ignore kernel versions you've installed yourself. (Right now I have 3 Fedora kernels and 4 or 5 different linux-next kernels all in /boot, works fine).

Actually, making yum notice the 3.15 kernel won't fix your problem.
I'm running Fedora 20 and am new to kernel building. Yum's error message is included below:

Your *real* problem is that you have an RPM from rpmfusion that wants the 3.13.10-200 version of the kernel, but the two kernels known to rpm/yum are the 3.11.10-301 that you installed originally, and a 3.13.9-200 version. (And since the rpmfusion package wants *exactly* 3.13.10-200, telling yum you have a 3.15 kernel won't make it happier). You have several choices: 1) Find a 3.13.10-200 kernel from Fedora and install it. (This could be difficult, as yum probably should have already found it for you). 2) remove the package from rpmfusion if you're not actually using it. 3) If you have an 'excludes = kernel*' in your yum.conf file to keep yum from automatically updating your kernel, try 'yum --disableexcludes=all' to see if that fixes the problem. 4) Ignore the issue until rpmfusion and Fedora agree again on what the latest kernel is...
