[ATrpms-users] EL6: Error upgrading to latest nvidia-graphics290.10-kmdl

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

w/o the yum-plugin-kmdl yum will arbitrarily pick a kmdl for some
kernel, not (just) the ones you have installed or are about to
install.

It actually just does what you did manually, e.g. pick the right kmdl
for your needs.
