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.

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,
I thought I had installed yum-plugin-elrepo, but it certainly was not. After installing it
everything is back to normal.
Thank you very much for your help!!!!!
