<p>yum install akmod-nvidia</p>
<p>The akmod will build the module locally when there is disparity between the kmod and kernel versions. You can install them both and not think about it again.</p>
<p>Do NOT install the NVIDIA...RUN blob. We have sane repos and competent package management, there is no reason to abandon them because rpmfusion is a day or two behind the kernel. This method is not sustainable, irrevocably changes system files that it shouldn't, and is not supportable here.</p>
<p>So, please use an akmod or the old kernel for a few days.</p>
