Oh that.Well as this thread is several replies lon now, I guess this bears repeating. This all started when I downloaded the -18-18.8.0 kernel & its source via up2date. I have since de-installed the source & re-installed it two times, to no avail. Now since I know that I can ignore that "buildmeister" message that I get at the beginning, I just went ahead & did it (I have changed the 'nvidia' back to 'nv' in the X config file so I am typing this on the -18-18.8.0 kernel. Well now, I'm in dependency hell. It tells me that it can't install the rebuilt nvidia kernel (-18-18.8.0) because it's already installed. Of course I can't rpm-e the so called installed nvidia kernel , because rpm says it's NOT isntalled. > > Once you have that, then you need the kernel.src.rpm from Nvidia.
