<div>I know that the kmod packages are built against a certain kernel version, installed for that kernel version and weak linked against all compatible kernel versions. But I think that those messages should not appear nevertheless. </div>
<div>The kernel 3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64 is the only one installed. </div>
<div>The kernel module is loaded and apart from the messages during the installation there are no visible errors.</div>
