Hi,

while none of the depsolvers can currently upgrade kernels *along with
the dependent kmdls* automagically, this is very easy to do with a
little workaround, which I'm reposting here, as the topic has become
an FAQ.

OLD=3D2.6.11-1.14_FC3
NEW=3D2.6.11-1.27_FC3
rpm -qa --qf '%{name} ' \*kmdl\*${OLD}\* | sed -e"s,$OLD,$NEW,g" | xargs ap=
t-get -y install

You can also use

OLD=3D`uname -r`

if you are running the old kernel you want to replicate the kmlds for
(which is the usual setup).

This will download and install both all the kmdls you have for $OLD
rebuilt for $NEW, as well as the $NEW kernel itself.
