Hi guys.
I remember, back in FC6 and Fedora 7 days, if Yum-updatesd discovered that new kernel was avaiable but *not* corresponding nvidia-driver (sometimes it is delayed on Livna) - it would refuse to download/install the kernel until the kmod-nividia itself would be avaiable too. This is, however, not the case with Fedora 8/9. It will install kernel and not even warn about the missing graph driver. One discovers first when rebooting the machine that the driver is missing and has issues until the driver shows up in the repository.

Is there any way to configure yum-updatesd start acting the old way, described above?

Thanks in advance.

Couldn't you just add both the kernel and kmod-driver to a "don't upgrade these for me" -list (I think there is such functionality..I might be wrong, but check it out), and then manually ask yum to upgrade them when both have newer version available? Because you probably don't upgrade your kernel every day, this wouldn't be a big issue..and if your kernel is working all right, you don't need to upgrade it every day.
