Crash, Screwy Dependency, Error Message for Livna Nvidia Modules

Thu Jan 4 15:46:37 UTC 2007

I just did a "yum update" on Fedora Core 6, which brought in kernel
2869. I did not reboot. I then ran

yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia

yum wanted to install kernel 2869 again.

I then rebooted to the 2869 kernel, and ran the install command. Yum
still wanted to re-install the same kernel.

So I let it go ahead, and got this:

--------------------------------------------------
Transaction Check Error:   package kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 is already installed

--------------------------------------------------

I then erased the new kernel, rebooted to an older one, and ran the
install command again. I got this:

--------------------------------------------------

I then rebooted, and logged in via SSH before I logged in as a user on
the machine. The machine ran GDM fine. When I logged in, X and Gnome
came part way up, then locked up completely, even the mouse
pointer. The SSH login reported this:

The system did not lock up, and I was able to reboot gracefully from
the SSH login. I fell back to an older kernel and the Xorg drivers.

The video card is:

A few more questions:

* What's with the "FATAL: Module nvidia not found."?

* How is yum determining the dependency here?
