ABSTRACT:
A method, and a corresponding mechanism, are used for resolving interface dependencies in kernel modules during an operating system (O/S) update. The method includes determining the O/S version for which each module is designed, determining a version of the updated O/S, comparing the O/S version for which each module is designed to the version of the updated O/S, and removing from the system those modules that are not compatible with the updated O/S.
