Paul, you should never upgrade (rpm -U) the kernel. Should you always install

it. Yum knows this and it should have installed the updated kernel alongside

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).

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

Bob,
thanks but I didn't make it clear I was upgrading from F13 to F15 so I couldn't really
go back to the old Kernel.
