Thank for your email.

Before I do any thing, I can see that I have
kmod-nvidia-3.2.3-2.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.12.x86_64
and
kmod-nvidia-3.2.5-3.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.13.x86_64

Should I remove the first one?

Thank.

Hi: I use the ATrpms repo and so don't have first-hand experience of fusion, but your first post showed you have the 3.2.5-3 SMP kernel. You probably need a plain nvidia 290.10 package to match that, and a matching kmod. I had assumed the problem was that that had not been built when you tried the upgrade, but now you seem to have it, unless there's a SMP variant. If you were running with the 3.2.3-2 kmod package before, the one you have now should be ok; the one that you suggest removing won't be any use and the answer would be Yes.

I hope you don't mind me asking why you are using F16 in what sounds as if it ought to be a production environment, with no-one on site to help you. You will need to upgrade at least once a year: F16 isn't really a stable platform. I don't expect that you want to move to CentOS_6 or SL6 now, but they are expected to have RH support for 7 years and they are really quite competent.

Good luck,

John P
