Update problems, wont update kernel

[benjo]

I cant seem to work out why im getting this error. I just did i yum -y update on 2 machines and there was no problem, but this one doesnt want to play nice. This pc is a p4 recently upgraded from fc5 to f7, i have done yum updates on this before and updated the kernel just fine (in f7) but this kernel wont register.
Anyway here's the error if anyone can help:

Most likely its a repo issue but im not sure what to look for.

I have been having this problem, as well. Here's what I do:

yum remove *nvidia*
yum update
yum install kmod-nvidia

This removes the existing NVIDIA kmod, updates everything (including kernel), and then reinstalls the NVIDIA kmod.

May be you are right and is a repository problem. That kernel has been in the repositories for several days. May be you must to wait.

[benjo]

yum remove *nvidia*
yum update
yum install kmod-nvidia

That worked a treat, thankyou.
I remember on last update that this kernel was downloaded:
kernel.i686 0:2.6.22.5-76.fc7 kernel-PAE.i686
but nvidia didnt work so i disabled it and booted in on this kernel:
2.6.22.9-91.fc7
Do you think that could be responsible?
