Attempting an update this evening I get the following error.

My guess is that kmod-nvidia (or something related) has not been
updated to match the new kernel yet.

Wrong guess. The modules were in the repo on the same day as the new kernel (within hours after that one got out; wasn't quicker as I was asleep when the new kernel got pushed).

These are all kernels and those are reports for the kmod that are on the system. John, did you maybe remove the kernels 2.6.27.5-37.fc9.i686 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 and 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686 with "--nodeps"?

But whatever, this command should solve the problem:

rpm -e kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-37.fc9.i686-173.14.15-1.fc9.5.i686 kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686-173.14.15-1.fc9.6.i686 kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686-173.14.15-1.fc9.7.i686

Then run yum-update
