There is some kind of bug in F8's and F7's yum that sometimes makes it pick i586 instead of i686 packages. You can help yum by specifying the arch explicitly like for example yum install kernel.i686 > So I decided not to continue with the > installation.

Do the following: yum install yum kernel.i686 yum-plugin-kmdl Then do a yum install nvidia-graphics -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
