https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648732 Based on this bug report, is there a fix for this problem. I am unable to install my nvidia drivers because of this bug. I don't understand it at all. Every time I installed the drivers and reboot this is the results. I don't know why these two programs are in conflict but it seems they are. Will somebody take a look at this problem. I am running Fedora 16/64-bit on Dell 9400 Inspiron with a Quadro FX2500m video card.
The problem is what is preventing me from installing nvidia drivers. I disabled the wifi firmware and used my wlan line to install and still get the same results. Aggregation error.

If you can set out: what you've tried to install the drivers, in what way the install process fails or they don't work and any other information you think is relevant such as why you think the iwl problem is related then someone may be able to help. Currently you're the only person with enough information to investigate the problem.
- with more words. And steps.
I'm going to take a guess based on what you've just said and suggest that:
- Your problem is actually that the yum install is not working due to
some kind of rpm database or connectivity issue. 2. It has nothing specifically to do with either nvidia or intel wifi.
But, honestly, I've no idea what you've done, what you're experiencing or what problem you're trying to solve. So without more detail I'm just going to have to stop here.

I have done a yum install akmod-nvidia kmod-nvidia, reboot and the screen flashes about three times and comes back with a list of the programs it started and waiting for about 1 to 2 minutes and it gives me the message of :Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load = 1, waiting a few more minutes and it says the same thing again only it changes load =0 or 6 or 4 etc. This is all I can explain because I am not as technical as you are.

Thank you, it's not in-depth technical analysis I wanted, just a literal description of what was happening.
What you're describing (screen flashes three times and then changes to text mode) is X trying to start and failing. This does probably indicate the nvidia drivers aren't loading, by being in text mode you're also seeing any other startup errors, including a different and probably unrelated error from the iwl startup. You should be able to login in text mode by pressing Ctl-Alt-F2 to get a login prompt (or try F1 through to F8 if that doesn't work).
At this point there are a few things that would be useful: 1. output of the command lsmod 2. Contents of /var/log/X.0.log 3. output of rpm -qa|grep nvidia
If you're not able to copy things off the system then just these instead: lsmod |grep nv lsmod |grep nouveau grep EE /var/log/X.0.log rpm -qa|grep nvidia
