You mean the updated alsa drivers? No, they should also be standalone
packages, requiring only the matching kernel to be installed.

Perhaps you ran into the issue, where asink for a project with kernel
modules would pull in yet another kernel instead of using the one you
are running. You can work around this by issuing

yum install foo-kmdl-`uname -r` foo

to ensure yum/apt/up2date/smart really pick the kernel modules for the
kernel you want.

Wrt to GFS/cluster: There are interdependencies between some of the
cluster packages in the folder above. Other than the kmdl packages you
should install them all, and also all kmdl packages matching the
kernel you are running.

If there are dependencies for x, y, z that are not needed, then that's
a bug that should be reported (bugzilla.atrpms.net, lists.atrpms.net
or PM ;)
