The latest from elrepo - kmod-nvidia-430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm -
is built for EL 7.7 and is not compatible with CentOS 7.6.
kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64 is the last that will work
with the latest CentOS 7.6 kernel.

This issue can be taken care of by installing yum-plugin-elrepo from ELRepo.

Akemi,
Thank you for your help. I actually had already installed yum-plugin-elrepo, and that
was
apparently part of the problem. When I do an update with this repo active kmod-nvidia-
430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm is the rpm that is set to be installed which does not
work
because I an running Centos 7.6. When I installed kmod-nvidia-430.40-
1.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm instead of doing an update everything worked perfectly.
Looks like the elrep repsitory may have a problem with this update.
Greg
What kernel are you running? Please show the output from:
rpm -q kernel
uname -a
yum-plugin-elrepo is designed to mask kmod packages from the yum
transaction when the required kernel from those packages is not
available to yum. In order for the yum-plugin-elrepo to work correctly,
all kernels should be available. Unfortunately, because of the
differences between RHEL and CentOS, whereby RHEL makes ALL packages
continuously available whereas CentOS repositories ONLY contain the
latest point release and update packages, yum-plugin-elrepo may not work
correctly on CentOS in some circumstances.
The workaround is to enable the CentOS vault repository so that all
previous kernel packages are available to yum as they are on RHEL. See
this bug:
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15476
Please try enabling the CentOS vault repo and see if that fixes your
issue with yum.
Thanks,
Phil

Phil,
That bug report was very helpful.

When I look at what is in elrepo I get the following :
yum --showduplicates list kmod-nvidia
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, nvidia
^^^ the 'elrepo' plugin is missing above. Please install yum-plugin-elrepo:
yum install yum-plugin-elrepo

Installed Packages
kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo @elrepo
Available Packages
kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.14-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo
kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.26-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo
kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.34-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo
kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo
kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo elrepo
As you can see I get both 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo
430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo as being present. If I am understanding things properly, yum should
pick '_6' over '_7' because my system is running 7.6.
Once you have installed yum-plugin-elrepo, when repeating the above the
package for el7.7 (kmod-nvidia-30.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64) should be
automagically hidden until such time as CentOS 7.7 has been released.
I would think that when CentOs7.7 is released this problem will be resolved. I am very
thankful of the maintainers of these repos!!!!!
Yes, once CentOS 7.7 is released, you will be able to update to the
el7.7 kernel and the corresponding
kmod-nvidia-30.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64 package built for that kernel.
In the meantime, yum-plugin-elrepo will ensure everything works as it
should.
Phil
