<p>Any one know how this works?</p>
<p>I removed all the kmod-nvida and installed akmod-nvida.<br>
leaving out a lot of dialog, I find that akmod-nvidia, apparently at boot time, at least before i get logged in with X runnning, installs kmod-nvidia ( I re-removed kmod-nvidia and see a grumble that RPMDB was updated outside yum.) Then after re-boot kmod-nvidia is re-installed!</p>
<p>I need to do some digging, where do one send bug reports on such?<br>
The akmod-nvidia didn't install all the reqs for it to re-build. After several attempts to get X going, I find /var/log/messages has grumble of missing devel, install it and all is well. akmod-nvidia installed a bunch of reqs but missed kernel-PAE-devel. I didn't even know there was a different devel for the PAE.</p>
<p>If any one going to do install, my recommendation don't yum erase kmod-nvidia, cause it removes a BIG library that akmod is gonna re-install and seems that akmod-nvidia needs kmod-nvidia. Almost acts like akmod-nvidia 'desires' kmod-nvidia but doesn't require? I suppose if i really needed to know, i should try boot with no network access.<br>
</p>
<p>I must be getting a tiny bit smarter, this cycle of broken X11 only lasted couple of hours or so, much less than previous times.</p>
