Is there any chance of getting all the kmod packages rebuilt against
the the current 2.6.27-3 release? The rest of the packages I've tested
look great, its just some of the kmod ones I can't.
I build the kmods for the kernel that were shipped with the beta. If you
follow rawhide then you might want to install the akmod-packages (e.g.
akmod-nvidia); then the akmods scripts will automatically build new kmod
packages when you install a new kernel-install (or during boot); that's
similar to how dkms does it.
The plan is to rebuild all kmods in RPM Fusion for the latest rawhide
kernel automatically once a week (likely on each Sunday) to make sure
they still compile (and for users with slow netbooks, where you don't
want to compile modules); but I haven't got around to set that up yet,
sorry.
