The problem rely when users upgrade their kernel and are using dkms. Kernel-source is not updated at the same time the user is updating the kernel. It need extra works. we can't even tell a user to do the following to ensure that he had installed the kernel source for the running kernel when playing with dkms ( i.e when installing nvidia/ati/centrino/madwifi/... drivers ) : urpmi kernel-source-stripped-`uname -r` It won't work as the package have .Xmdv and uname give -Xmdv -- Ayez vos yeux bien ouverts avant de vous marier, et mi-clos quand vous serez mariés.
