Whenever NVidia issues a new driver version Livna will build nvidia-glx and kernel module packages for it, but only for the current kernel and up. In this case, you tried to install kernel-module-nvidia for the latest kernel, which is kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.14-1.1653*-1.0.8174-*. It requires a matching version of nvidia-glx (1.0.8174), hence nvidia-glx needs to upgraded, too. However, the old nvidia-glx version (1.0.7676) is required by your older kernel-module-nvidia versions, which yum will not remove automatically, you'll have to do that manually. The root cause of this issue is that kernel and kernel module packages can exist in multiple versions on the same system, since they live in versioned directories and have no conflicting files. Other packages (like nvidia-glx) cannot have multiple versions installed at the same time. If you want to use the latest kernel with NVidia's proprietary driver you have to wave your old NVidia kernel modules good-bye. That means no proprietary NVidia driver support when you boot older kernels. Nobody's fault, really. The only way out would be convincing someone to build the NVidia modules against x number of older kernels, as well. Cheers Steffen.
