I'm chipping away at this... Got an rpm to build, but it fails to
install with:

# rpm -Uvh kmod-myri10ge-1.4.1-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
     ksym(mtrr_del) = 272d394e is needed by
kmod-myri10ge-1.4.1-1.x86_64
     ksym(mtrr_add) = 56179c5f is needed by
kmod-myri10ge-1.4.1-1.x86_64

Rpm's '--what-provides' doesn't provide a clue here: any ideas what's
missing?

Also, I'm trying to understand exactly what the kmod packaging
provides. I've read Jon Masters presentation here:
<http://people.redhat.com/jcm/talks/jcm_rhsummit_07.pdf>, but still
not clear on just how far a kernel module packaged this way will go.
I assume kernel upgrades that don't change the ABI symbol dependencies
won't require a new kernel module rpm, but how can I know before
upgrading a kernel when it will require a new module rpm as well?

thanks,
Ed
