Right. But why to provide "kernel = %{version}" and not
"kernel = %{version}-%{release}" for the kernel-smp package ?

$ rpm -q --provides kernel
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.9-1.649.mat.1
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.9-1.643.mat.1

$ rpm -q --requires -p kernel-module-unicorn-eth-0.8.7-
mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1.i686.rpm
/bin/sh
/sbin/depmod
kernel > 2.6.9
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

$ rpm -ivh --fileconflicts kernel-module-unicorn-eth-0.8.7-mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        kernel > 2.6.9 is needed by kernel-module-unicorn-eth-0.8.7-mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1.i686



Add the Red Hat :
$ rpm -q --provides kernel
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.9-1.649.mat.1
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.9-1.643.mat.1
kernel = 2.6.9  <===
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.9-1.649

$ rpm -ivh --fileconflicts kernel-module-unicorn-eth-0.8.7-mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        kernel > 2.6.9 is needed by kernel-module-unicorn-eth-0.8.7-mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1.i686



Build a new kernel-module-unicorn-eth with "Requires: kernel > 2.6.8"
Remove the Red Hat kernel.
$ rpm -q --provides kernel
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.9-1.649.mat.1
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.9-1.643.mat.1
$ rpm -q --requires -p kernel-module-unicorn-eth-0.8.7-mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1.i686.rpm
/bin/sh
/sbin/depmod
kernel > 2.6.8
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
$ rpm -i --fileconflicts kernel-module-unicorn-eth-0.8.7-mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1_2.6.9_1.649.mat.1.i686.rpm
$

Fine.

Do the same but with "Requires: kernel = 2.6.9" in kernel-module-module-eth.
Works as expected.



So, I don't understand your point.

kernel-2.6.spec should have :
%package smp
Provides: kernel = %{version}-%{release}
and not :
Provides: kernel = %{version}

I don't test with kernel-smp, but I can to do it if you want. I would to
rebuild a kernel.
