Kernel Dependencies Conflict for kmod-nvidia

I've run into a problem; the livna-testing nVidia binary driver has a dependency upon another RPM of the kernel I have, and yum tries to install it, but fails with the following error:

Code:

Transaction Check Error:   package kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 is already installed
  file /boot/System.map-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6

Why does ask for an identical kernel to the one I have installed?

How about disabling the livna-testing repo as that seems to be where the problem is coming from.

http://rpm.livna.org has specific information regarding your problem. Check it out. Also i did it in a different way. During installation of FC6,i installed the xen kernel and upon getting nvidia from livna, the normal kernel also got installed along with it without any problems.
