I've fixed the issue with smartpm reporting that kernels can't coexist 
by telling it to allow multiple versions. I'm confused as to why it 
complained about multiple kernels but not multiple kmod.nvidia packages, 
and why exactly the same smartpm application run under Mandriva was 
quite happy to allow multiple kernels without any configuration but 
under Fedora its not. That is something that probably can't be resolved 
here and is off topic for this thread, so I apologize for that.
