yum kernel/kmod update weirdness

[Ralf Corsepius <rc040203 freenet de>]

Hi,

Does anybody have an explanation for this?


# rpm -qa 'kernel' 'kmod*'
kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7
kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
kmod-nvidia-100.14.11-1.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7
kmod-nvidia-100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_27.fc7

# yum update
Installing:
 kernel                  i686       2.6.22.1-33.fc7  updates            16 M
 kmod-nvidia             i686       100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_33.fc7  livna             2.4 M

Removing:
 kernel                  i686       2.6.22.1-27.fc7  installed          46 M
 kmod-nvidia             i686       100.14.11-1.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7  installed         7.5 M


This would cause the system to end up with this setup:
kernel-2.6.22.1-33.fc7
kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
kmod-nvidia-100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_33.fc7
kmod-nvidia-100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_27.fc7

This doesn't seem right to me.
