No, it hasn't. So why does yum pull in a new kernel, if kmod-nvidia
depends on the old kernel?
Because you're not upgrading kmod-nvidia. The kernel has absolutely
no dependencies on kmod-nvidia, its the other way around.
Well, yum has all the package dependency info in its metadata, so why
can't it apply it both ways (i.e., kernel -> kmod, and kmod -> kernel)?
But more urgently: what's the best way to ensure that you don't have a
non-functioning computer in the morning, because of a driver/kernel
mismatch? Do I have to exclude kernel and kmod* from yum updates?
