2.4.18-8.0
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up_2.4.18_18.8.0.i686.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm

Has anybody successfully used the NVidia rpm's with either the
2.4.18-18.8.0 kernel or the newest one?
TIA,

By uninstalling the old ones, will the old kernel be rendered unusable?
To uninstall, do I just rpm -e NVIDIA*. Will that work?

NVIDIA_kernel NVIDIA_GLX" should work. I'm pretty sure you can rpm -U the
kernel, but the GLX one needs to be rpm -e. It moves some installed
files out of the way, and if you update, it will overwrite the ones it
backed up.

just downloaded the new Red Hat kernel. I have the nvidia drivers

This was expected. I though that renaming the XF86Config file back to
orriginal config would do the job??
Do I have to uninstall the nvidia drivers or what to run the new
kernel. Can someone please explain the procedure to installing a new
kernel and then installing the new nvidia drivers please. I compiled
the nvidia drivers from source rpms. The old kernel was 2.4.18.18.0.
Do I uninstall nvidia drivers, go back to the old XF86Config, boot into
the new kernel, and then re-install the nvidia drivers or what?
thanks Greg
the NVidia drivers for the new kernel, uninstall the old ones, install the
new ones, and reboot.
