Furthermore, livna had another issue besides having the 2798 kernel as a dependency when fc6 was first released. I helped several other people build drivers for 2798 when fc6 first shipped because NONE of us could get the livna install working. And furthermore, in this situation, livna would ONLY get my 2798 kernel working AGAIN, not set up a driver for my 2835 kernel ! yum install kmod-nvidia Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories livna 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.3 MB 00:02 ################################################## 4191/4191 Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
