Just wondering about something in general: From time to time I get a yum error about trying to update something like an nvidia kernel module not being possible because there's no kernel available to go along with that version.
Trying several different mirrors doesn't help, and I can't be bothered to go trying them all out. I'll just wait a few days for things to settle.
But how have they compiled their module for a kernel that isn't available? Surely that's a bit chicken and eggish? Wouldn't they be compiling against a customised Fedora kernel, rather than one from somewhere else? And, if so, why don't we have the same one available to us?
You *might* be experiencing this reported bug:
