This can sometime go wrong, because the nvidia-graphics6629 requires _some_ kernel-module-nvidia-graphics6629 to be installed, but there are more than one per arch (at least two per supported kernel, non-smp and smp). So sometimes yum/apt start suggesting installing a kernel along with the requested kernel module rpm. This cannot be easily solved (imagine a system with multiple kernels installed). yum/apt could default to the running kernel, and there is indeed some extension to apt that allows this (keywords are: Panu and AllowDuplicates). So apt/yum need to be additionally told about which kernel to install kernel-module-foo like apt-get install kernel-module-foo-<kernel> foo if <kernel> is the running kernel then `uname -r` (like above) is enough. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
