What is the unfixed yumlop bug? :) > >> Error: Package lirc-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2320.fc5 needs > >> /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2320.fc5, this is not available. > > I read this as the kernel models listed not having newer (FC8) versions > calculated. No, there are kmdl for F8, but the above means "I just wanted to kill the kernel for 2.6.20-1.2320.fc5, but I never checked that other packages depend on it. So after I scheduled it for removal I see that there are dependency issues". E.g. a yum bug in the installonly code. > I don't know the state of ivtv; it's supposed to be merged, or at least > mostly merged, into the core kernel tree as part of video4linux, but I kind > of get the impression you still need or should/could have the individual > ivtv kmdl installed. I'll ask on the ivtv site before I jump. You need the kmdl for the framebuffer.

I upgraded some FC6 to F8 and it worked well, even with yum (but I haven't tried FC5->F8, nor will I ba able to as I don't have any such systems left). BTW thin kabout moving to RHEL5/CentOS5 if you are on FC5. It means that you don't upgrade that often (FC5->F8 is 1.5 years), and that cycle is the same as RHEL's so you might be better off following RHEL's/CentOS' cycle then. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
