Yeah, F15 has the newer scheduler, which I hear is *real* *nice*!

I tried the following command line:

yum install --releasever=15 --nogpgcheck kernel kmod-nvidia

It installed the following RPMs for me:

kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64
linux-firmware-20110601-1.fc15.noarch
kmod-nvidia-280.13-2.fc15.2.x86_64
module-init-tools-3.16-2.fc15.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64-280.13-2.fc15.2.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.14-5.x86_64
glibc-common-2.14-5.x86_64
glibc-2.14-5.i686
glibc-2.14-5.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.14-5.x86_64

But, when I try and boot, I get an error trying to load some firmware
file in /lib/modules/2.6.40.4-5-fc15.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/

The error message claims that CPU Type 15 is not supported....
And it continues, ad infinitum, until I power the machine off and reboot
an F14 kernel.

Did I miss something else I need to install?
