[ATrpms-users] Nvidia KMDL with New FC6 Kernel

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

I have just updated the new kernel for FC6
using yum, and I had no problem at all.

yum check-update does not show any kmdl, indeed.
Then, I run yum install kernel-xxx kernel-devel-xxxx
and all the kmdls I had were downloaded and installed,
including nvidia 9631.
