Are there just a few modules, or all of the modules? If there are
just a few, are you using non-Fedora modules that are built after
the kernel in installed? There are several packages that build their
own modules when you install a new kernel, but they are not listed
as being dependent on the kernel package.
Hi Mikkel,
I'm using the nvidia video driver, VirtualBox and Vmware server, so
/lib/modules/... contains the correspondent nvidia or vmware and/or
virtualbox modules. It seems that this is the reason for no removement.
The yum behaviour sounds reasonable.
Thank you for clarification.
