Possibly in some installs this is indeed something to worry about. The
weak-updates will only work on kernels that meet all the requirements in
the kmod.
This means that "kernel >= 2.6.18-203.el5" ... if you have any
kernels
older than that on your box, when the weak-updates run, it will fail and
there are missing symbols. If you have a mix of kernels above and below
the 2.6.18-203.el5, you will get this error on the older ones.
As long as you only boot kernels that are >= 2.6.18-203.el5, then it
should not be a problem.
