I've just had what seemed to be an nvidia problem in CentOS 5.5, but it

everything became rather difficult.
I remember thet long ago I used to disable a newly installed kernel
until I had a full set of kmdls. Now I usually delay installation until
the kmdls are available, and I had thought that the new kernel had then
automatically become the default. Apparently not.
If this isn't just my past coming back to haunt me this note may sound a
useful alarm.
John,
I've upgraded four hosts from 5.4 to 5.5. In every case the 194.3.1 kernel was
installed and made the default kernel.
My routine is in this case (version upgrade), I'll do the upgrade, then
install the kmdls for the new kernel then reboot. For in-version kernel
updates through Yum, I'll let Yum install the new kernel. I'll check if the
new kmdls are available. If they are, I'll install them and reboot into the
new kernel. If they are not available, I'll edit grub.conf to make the old
kernel the default kernel just in case there's a reboot while waiting for the
missing kmdls.
