I am trying to update the kernel and kmod-nvidia together.

The messages I get are:
===================

Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 is needed by
package kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
====================

I don't understand the Missing Dependency, since both kmod-nvidia and
the new kernel that are available are for the same version.

What am I missing?  How can I get out of this lock-up?

Thanks.

Gerry
