I recently built and installed kernel version 3.15.0-rc1 following the
KernelBuild article on kernelnewbies.org.  Everything went smooth and my
system is running fine.  However when performing an update via (sudo yum
update) the dependencies failed requiring
"kernel-devel-uname-r=3.13.10".  uname-r returns "3.15.0-rc1" as
expected.

Is there a way to get yum to recognize the latest kernel I built?  Or
does that require updating the kernel's source RPM?

I'm running Fedora 20 and am new to kernel building.  Yum's error
message is included below:

Error: Package:
10:buildsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs-current-20-19.x86_64
(rpmfusion-free-updates)
           Requires: kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64
           Installed: kernel-devel-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 (@anaconda)
               kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64
           Installed: kernel-devel-3.13.9-200.fc20.x86_64 (@updates)
               kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.13.9-200.fc20.x86_64
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Hi Amber,

    I think that the easiest solution to your problem is install the Fedora
kernel RPM "3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64" as requested, just to circumvent this
dependency error.

    You can continue running the custom kernel that you built, choosing it
during the boot process (GRUB menu).

    I also think that is a good idea to install your custom kernel through
RPM. It's easy to create a custom kernel RPM package with the command "make
rpm-pkg"

    Regards.

Note that nothing below talks about 3.15.  You've apparently  installed it
outside of rpm/yum, which is perfectly OK - rpm and yum will silently
ignore kernel versions you've installed yourself. (Right now I have 3 Fedora
kernels and 4 or 5 different linux-next kernels all in /boot, works fine).

Actually, making yum notice the 3.15 kernel won't fix your problem.

Your *real* problem is that you have an RPM from rpmfusion that wants
the 3.13.10-200 version of the kernel, but the two kernels known to rpm/yum
are the 3.11.10-301 that you installed originally, and a 3.13.9-200 version.
(And since the rpmfusion package wants *exactly* 3.13.10-200, telling yum
you have a 3.15 kernel won't make it happier).

You have several choices:

1) Find a 3.13.10-200 kernel from Fedora and install it. (This could be
difficult, as yum probably should have already found it for you).
2) remove the package from rpmfusion if you're not actually using it.
3) If you have an 'excludes = kernel*' in your yum.conf file to keep yum
from automatically updating your kernel, try 'yum --disableexcludes=all' to
see if that fixes the problem.
4) Ignore the issue until rpmfusion and Fedora agree again on what the latest
kernel is...
