Re: akmods (nvidia) for EL?
2012/11/21 Orion Poplawski <orion(a)cora.nwra.com>:
I've been happily using kmod-nvidia from elrepo for EL for a
while now.
However, to deal with some issues in the current EL6 kernels I've been
using
the kernel-lt kernel from elrepo, which is not compatible with the
elrepo
kmod-nvidia. For those situations it would be nice to have akmods
available. Does this seem like a reasonable thing for rpmfusion to
provide?
Hi Orion,
Yes it's perfectly reasonable to have akmod and even pre-built kmod-foo for
EL.
The problem is that currently we do not implement kABI so we need to
rebuild the kernel for each new kernel. (which kABI would essentially
avoid).
I don't have time to lead the work, but we need to rebase the tools
(akmod/kmodtool) into devel in order to get ready for later release (EL-7
eventually).
