Thanks Marcel (and Jesse). Rebuilding the rpm database at least allowed me to
get the right kernel source installed.
Unfortunately, my Nvidia drivers are still not working right. I tried using
YOU, and then sax2, with no luck. Then I tried running the update file and
it just runs into an error and exits. If it helps, here's the pertinent part
of the installer log file:

ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
Maybe I'll try to grab the nvidia file again... Maybe it's corrupt?
Thanks for any input.
