After running a yum update ( su -c 'yum -y update') the machine would boot

ended up doing was to run a yum command to remove the nVidia driver ( su -c
'yum -y remove kmod-nvidia').
Everything is working correctly at this point, but I don't have the nVidia
driver installed. Has anyone else run into this issue?
So:
1. your kernel version probably changed
# grep kernel /var/log/yum.log
2. the external repo module technology doesn't automatically rebuild a
new kernel module for the new kernel, or the nvidia driver is no loner
compatible with the new kernel.
I had been using the freshrpms nvidia module package based on dkms, and
this just rebuilt the kernel module interface whenever a new kernel was
booted. Now I wait until the external repo catches up with the released
kernel update...
