[SOLVED] Yum exclusion list ?

[mcojettech737]

Is ther a way to stop Yum from offering a certain package for installation. I've read the man page & have visited the Yum website.
I want to "blacklist" Kmod-nvidia" (any version).
in /etc/yum.conf i've tried the following:
-x Kmod-nvidia
Exclude=Kmod-nvidia
--Exclude=Kmod-nvidia
Kmod-nvidia -x
Kmod-nvidia=Exclude

thanks for the help - if any

In /etc/yum.conf, try adding:

exclude=kmod-nvidia

I'm pretty sure there are no caps in kmod-nvidia or exclude.

You'll need to do:

exclude=kmod-nvidia* kernel*

Otherwise, if you update a kernel without updating the kmod-nvidia along with the kernel, you'll bust your video.
