kmod is the actual kernel module that gets loaded at boot time. akmod is the system for building a new version of it for each new kernel. Just to make it more confusing, you can also download and install kmod rpm's directly without using akmod, but that only works if they already exist in some repo (typically rpmfusion), which sometimes takes a while after a new kernel appears. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
