I now get this: [root@f8 jdk1.6.0_03]# yum update kmod-nvidia Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package kmod-nvidia.i686 0:100.14.19-18.lvn8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-49.fc8 for package: kmod-nvidia --> Running transaction check ---> Package kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-49.fc8.i686 0:100.14.19-18.lvn8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 for package: kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-49.fc8 --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 for package: kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.23.1-49.fc8 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 is needed by package kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 Would it work to yum erase kmod-nvidia and then install it fresh?
