Hi All;

I have an IBM Thinkpad with an Nvidia card ( nVidia Corporation GT218 
[NVS 3100M] (rev a2) )

I currently have the nouveau driver black listed in my grub.conf setup: 
/rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau/

I did the update which installed/updated the following:

---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be installed
---> Package kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be installed
---> Package kernel-headers.i686 0:2.6.35.14-95.fc14 set to be updated
---> Package kmod-nvidia.i686 1:280.13-2.fc14 set to be updated

However when I reboot the system boots to a blank screen, and even the 
previous kernel boots to a blank screen.
I tried installing akmod-nvidia but get the same results

I've restored the system back to before the update for now...

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance
