I was a bit shocked to notice that yum did this overnight: Jun 12 05:49:27 Erased: kernel Jun 12 05:49:55 Installed: kernel-smp.i686 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 Jun 12 05:50:12 Installed: kernel.i686 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 Jun 12 05:50:13 Updated: autofs.i386 1:4.1.4-25 Jun 12 05:50:18 Erased: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia Jun 12 05:50:31 Erased: kmod-nvidia-smp In order to put the latest kernel onto my machine, it not only removed the older kernel (which shouldn't happen, according to my understanding of yum.conf defaults) but also, along with that, the nvidia modules. This stops X working... Before I file a bugzilla report, has anyone else had this happen?
