I have uploaded a smolt profile of my machine. If you have the same difficulty you may want to look and see if you see any overlap.
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_bbdcaa05-e7bd-4ad7-83ca-f822b5b0fb7f Recovery was a pain... 1) Remove all traces of new 2.6.24 kernel - I could remove the new kernel, devel fairly easily - removing the kernel-headers took a lot of friends with it - tracked the dependences to reinstall later 2) Tried to install the 2.6.23 headers and devel - none of the repos had the "old" kernel files- after much searching I found: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=35322
- got headers and devel packages
- rpm -ihv the devel and header rpms
3) Nvidia drivers messed up on 2.6.23
- Tried to install livna Nvidia drivers
- always tried to drag in the 2.6.24 kernel
- could not find a way around it
4) Reinstalled development environment lost in step 1
- yum install gcc gcc-c++ gcc-java rpmdevtools
- will go back and get the others later
5) Nvidia the hard way
- yum erase kmod-nvidia*
- download the driver:
- wget
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run
- Turn off Xserver
- telinit 3
- Install the driver
- sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run
- reboot
6) sigh with relief as I see my twin-view screens come up correctly
7) share experience here
8) will exclude kernel from yum update until 2.6.25 comes out.
- I see on this list that others have had success with it.
