Extra /lib/modules directories and Fedora 10 - just an observation

[Jerry Feldman]

I just happened to look at /lib/modules and I have 6 directories that do =

not have a corresponding kernel in /boot. One of these is an older F10=20
and the other 5 are F9. When F10 was released I performed and upgrade=20
install rather than a fresh install. Furthermore, these do not=20
correspond to any installed RPMs.

In checking the RPM data base, there are 3 kernels in the RPM data base, =

3 kernels  and associated initrd and maps in /boot and grub.conf, but 9=20
directrories under /lib/modules.

On further investigation it appears that there is a bugzilla on this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D456856

Additionally, these directories appear to contain either empty=20
subdirectories or a single nvidia.ko in the ./extra/nvidia directory.
