No, what I means is that yum, instead of taking the *newest* kmod, should take
the one which correspond to the *actual* running kernel ( people normally has
some kernels installed but doesn't always use the newest one ). 

This situation can be avoied if yum use `uname -r` to decide which kmod version
correspdant.
