I'll have to see about building a test package but I think I may have
achieved this using systemd-inhibit within the akmodsposttrans service...
I don't know how the "systemd-inhibit" works. If it simply prevents the
completion of the dnf or packaged update until the kmod is built that would
be fine.
Nothing to do with DNF, haven't found a solution to that one yet. It
inhibits shutdown/reboot until the command completes. I need to test it
with a fake setup perhaps /usr/bin/sleep 3600 and see if I get any kind of
GUI prompt about what is going on, it does have some command line options I
assume are used to display to the user.
Thanks,
