Wrong guess. The modules were in the repo on the same day as the new 
kernel (within hours after that one got out; wasn't quicker as I was 
asleep when the new kernel got pushed).

These are all kernels and those are reports for the kmod that are on the 
system. John, did you maybe remove the kernels 2.6.27.5-37.fc9.i686 
2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 and 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686 with "--nodeps"?

But whatever, this command should solve the problem:

> rpm -e kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-37.fc9.i686-173.14.15-1.fc9.5.i686 kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686-173.14.15-1.fc9.6.i686 kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686-173.14.15-1.fc9.7.i686

Then run yum-update
