Yes - what I do with the binary module I need (not video) - I disable the kernel update in my /etc/yum.conf file via exclude=kernel That way I can just yum update to my hearts content. Every couple of weeks I just check for a new livna module - and if there is one, I comment out the exclude line and then use yum install to install the new livna module for what I need, and it pulls the new kernel in as a dependency.
