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...
I have noticed this with yum before, with kernel updates I never do "yum -y update keren*" And I am quite frankly surprised that any one woudl allow yum to update their machine automatically every night. Don't get me wrong, yum is great, I like it, but it's just a programe, it's not intelligent and giving it permision to do what ever it wants to your box is foolish. About once a week I open a terminal and su to root and do "yum check-update" and then decide for my self what I really need to fix and what is not important, for example, OpenOffice updates so often, and is such a huge download for what I assume is sometimes icon changes!!!! -- Rob
