Before that, may I recommend
> yum install yum-fedorakmod
yum-fedorakmod.noarch 1.0.2-2.fc6 extras
Matched from:
yum-fedorakmod
Yum plugin to handle fedora kernel modules.
Plugin for Yum to handle installation of kmod-foo type of kernel modules, when
new kernel versions
are installed.
kmod-foo kernel modules is described by the Fedora Extras packaging standards.
http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/yum-utils/
basically, it prevents yum from offering new kernels during an update until
all the various kmod rpms you have are also available for that kernel.
Running it here with kmod-ntfs and kmod-nvidia and seems to work a treat.
