The reason I am bringing this up is because its highly atypical. I
waited overnight just to be sure that it wasn't a mirror propagation
time issue and in fact, its NOT.
# yum update
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, kmdl, priorities,
refresh-packagekit
2 packages excluded due to repository priority
protections
Setting up Update
Process
No Packages marked for Update
# yum list kmod-nvidia* | grep 19
<empty response>
The two packages being excluded are related to mythtv.
Why am I not seeing kmod-nvidia for this kernel ?
