I removed the akmod-nvidia and reinstalled, just to see.  On rebooting,
both the 2.7 and the 2.8 kernels freeze during init with "r8169: eth0:
link up" showing on an otherwise blank screen.  I have waited for over 5
minutes for the kernel(s) to rebuild but my machine just remained
inactive.

I haven't tried akmods -- force.  I will try it now and check my dmesg
and /var/log/messages afterwards.

I never had a problem with akmod-nvidia before either.  I have been
using it for a least a year now -- until the
2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64 kernel and the 2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.x86_64
kernel. They wouldn't rebuild but my system would default to the vesa
driver after akmod-nvidia was removed.  The 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64
kernel works fine.
