Shaun:
First a disclaimer (or 2). I have not used YUM to update a kernel so
I don't know all the ins and outs of YUM. I have several kernels on my
machine both installed by Anaconda and build by myself. As you can
see below each kernel has an aic7xxx.o associated with it. In addition
I have a new world machine so I don't know where the modules need to
live in order for the kernel to completely load in an old world box.
My assumption is that they must reside on the Mac side. Also the
initrd.img file should be there too? Perhaps an old world guru can
elucidate here?
I wish I could give you a step by step but I don't have the know-how.
Regards,
Bruce
