The --add-module would be executed by kmod to add specific modules to all installed and supported kernels while --add-kernel would be executed by the kernel package to get all modules symlinks done for this kernel. Also that --add-kernel receives a kernel version as parameter and not the module list from stdin. What is happening is that it is updating the symlinks for the running kernel only ($1 is empty). I don't know how you're reproducing this, but perhaps you can change those %post/%pre sections to capture the system's state before and after, or even save outputs with debugging enabled (set -x) to temp files. e.g.: sh -x /sbin/weak-modules &> /tmp/weak-modules.log HTH, fbl > > I really appreciate your feed back Flavio!
