Paul, you should never upgrade (rpm -U) the kernel. Should you always install (rpm -i) it. Yum knows this and it should have installed the updated kernel alongside the currently-running one. This allows you to fall back to a known-working kernel should your update fail.
Are you sure the old kernel is gone? You should be able to edit grub.conf and tell it to boot the previous kernel where the nvidia kmod still exists. rpm -q kernel should list two or three kernels on a default Fedora install (once you've performed updates a few times). /Brian/ On Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 2:27 AM, Paul Wilson <myli...@wilsononline.id.au>wrote: > Yes there must be a way to prevent loading new Nvidia versions if kmdl is > not present, > Yesterday I attempted to upgrade a friends Fedora but found after the > upgrade the kmod is not available for this kernel so I'm stuck as its an > upgrade I can't fallback to old kernel. > > In the end I had to disable the nvidia graphics and use the novena drivers > , not ideal but I had no other choice. > > So can the kmdl yum script check if available and force a error or perhaps > if there is some other script I can check kmdl BEFORE I upgrade kernel. > > thanks > Paul > > _______________________________________________ > atrpms-users mailing list > atrpms-users@atrpms.net > http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users >
