[Fwd: Module submission - kernel-reqs]

[Jerry Lundström]

Hey all,

I have to raise this concern. Does the current kernel-reqs really work? 
My point is that it doesn't since we force an update of that module via 
the kernel modules after its compiled (not rebooted) the update will be 
made for the old running kernel and not the new one.

I know there isn't any really good solutions to this problem, I can only 
come up with two options and they both ain't the best.

1. Only recompile the modules that actually support specifying kernel 
version to compile against.
This will correct the modules that support it but will leave all others 
broken.

2. Make some kind of recompile-on-boot thing in lunar that (doh) will 
recompile the modules after you reboot in order to make them work with 
the new kernel version.
This will fix all the modules we have in kernel-reqs right now but it 
ain't pretty at all...

So what you think?
