.oO I see ->
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/kernel-module-nvidia-2.4.22-1.2149.nptlbigmem-1.0.4620-0.lvn.18.1.i686.rpm

What does the numbering "1.0.4620" stand for? It's none of the NVidia
driver release numbers.

Sure it can not resolve the dependency if there is no nptlbigmem kernel
image, or is there one anywhere?
