dkms and kmdl are two different methods of providing kernel modules on
your system. dkms does this dynamically on the end user's system,
e.g. it ships code and your compiler builds it for any kernel you
boot. kmdls are prebuilt kernel modules that are shipped in binary
form.

Ideally both yield the same results on your system. Both have pros and
cons, and we'll hopefully get the pros together soon.

Yes, not both, they target the same kernel module, so they will both
conflict in one way or another. Just try out one method and if that
works stick to it.

Indeed, the wiki for NTFS should include the instructions for kmdl for
those who are using ATrpms and how to set up the repos correctly for
those who are using both ATrpms and RPMforge.  Writing this portion
was in the original plan but somehow missed before the page was made
available to the public.  Either Ralph or I will be updating the
article. (ping range :-)

Well, I'll try to do so over the weekend.

There are two issues here:

a) /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 should be part of the base CentOS
   release
b) There are fuse-kmdl-* for any released kernel in the repo and yum
   just fails to pick up a sensible one.

You can fix by explicitly asking yum to install a amtching kmdl the
first time and then use the yum-plugin-kmdl to automate this for
further kernel updates:

yum install fuse-kmdl-`uname -r` yum-plugin-kmdl

Also note that as others have written you accidentially got the
ATrpms' version of fuse, you wanted to get Dag's version. I think both
will work the same for you and Dag and I will be putting our heads
together to melt our methods into one getting the best of both
worlds. :)

But for now you need to decide for one setup and stick to it. If you
want to use the dkms solution use an exclude directive in ATrpms' repo
definition to not see any "fuse*" packages. That will ensure that all
fuse stuff comes from Dag.
