OK...here is the error I'm getting with regard to updating the machine
with the current kernel and nvidia packages issue:

Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-i686 = 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 is needed
by package kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.14-107.fc8

I have:

kernel-devel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8
kernel-xen-2.6.21-2952.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fc8
kernel-headers-2.6.23.15-137.fc8
kernel-xen-2.6.21-2957.fc8

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-169.09-4.lvn8
kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.14-107.fc8-169.07-2.lvn8
kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.15-137.fc8-169.09-7.lvn8
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-169.09-4.lvn8
kmod-nvidia-169.09-7.lvn8

How can I resolve this?

Thanks.
