I would advice you to get the nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-0.lvn.2.4.src.rpm package and recompile it when the new kernel package is released.
Yes, but this is not done automatically.
So if the machine is rebooted after the new kernel is installed, but before the nvidia driver is recompiled, the machine starts up without graphics.
This should not happen -- the livna package should disable the nvidia driver and switch to nv when the kernel-module for the new kernel is missing. If not file a bug.
BTW, livna is quite fast with updating modules these days -- most times they have them online 24 hours after a new kernel gets published.
Yes - what I do with the binary module I need (not video) - I disable the kernel update in my /etc/yum.conf file via exclude=kernel
That way I can just yum update to my hearts content.
Every couple of weeks I just check for a new livna module - and if there is one, I comment out the exclude line and then use yum install to install the new livna module for what I need, and it pulls the new kernel in as a dependency.
