For some reason the update to a new kernel seems to randomly point to a kernel to boot by default which would be OK but the livna nvidia setup breaks the older kernels nvidia module, so you need to make sure you boot on the latest kernel by default (by editing /etc/grub.conf to point to the latest kernel).
Generally, it doesn't. There's a glitch when installing a new kernel results in installing a new version of the nVidia driver.
The "solution" is to install the nvidia module manually from the nvidia site download, which is not really a simple option.

Search the archives of this list for how to rebuild new Livna nvidia packages for the old kernel.
