Description Jaša Bartelj 2011-05-10 15:53:40 CEST
Hello.

I use f15 beta and after yesterdays kernel update X will no longer start, complains of failing to load module "nvidia" (module-specific-error, 0).

I updated from kernel-2.6.38.5-22.fc15.i686 to kernel-2.6.38.5-24.fc15.i686.

I tried debugging with the friendly folks at #fedora and it was suggested I file a bug report here. From what I understand the RPMFusion repo has not yet been brought up to date with the new kernel. PLSFIX. :)

    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

use akmod-nvidia for the time been.
