Thanks for the reply.

I do have the latest yum from the planetccrma repository, and as far as I
can tell I do have the proper kernel sources, i.e. they show up in
/usr/src/kernels. Or am I missing something?

Would it be worth removing all the kernels and kernels sources manually
(with rpm, perhaps) then regetting the latest planetccrma kernel and
sources? Or is there a chance that may break something?

Thanks.

 &gt; &gt; 3) Can't install the NVIDIA driver because it appears to not find the &gt; kernel sources Hi Martin. You should just need the kernel-devel package which will provide the kernel headers. Make sure it matches the ccrma kernel you're using.
 Someone I saw had problems getting the kernel-devel package for the ccrma kernel, as, a &quot;yum install kernel-devel&quot; was trying to get a kernel-devel package for the Fedora kernel. I don't have that problem as I use both Yum,
 and Apt on FC5. Apt for Fedora core, updates, and extras repos, and Yum just for the planetccrma ones. If you have problems, a workaround would be to temporarily set, Fedora core, updates, and extras repos to &quot;Enabled=0&quot; (not
 sure which one is responsible for the kernel-devel package), then you should only get the option of the kernel-devel package from planetccrma. Another thing you may have missed from Fernando's posts.&nbsp;&nbsp;A yum update should
 have got you a new version of Yum from planetccrma. This is patched to allow Yum to install older kernels, but you need to add a line to /etc/yum.conf, as below. oldpackage=1 &gt; &gt; I've been banging my head for a week trying to solve these problems, but I
 &gt; seem to be getting nowhere. &gt; &gt; Any help much, much appreciated! &gt; &gt; - martin Sorry I can't help with the other problems, nor with the Nvidia driver itself, as my graphics are Cyberbladei1, and Rage128 on my 2 machines.
 All the best. Nigel. _______________________________________________ PlanetCCRMA mailing list <a href="mailto:PlanetCCRMA@ccrma.stanford.edu">PlanetCCRMA@ccrma.stanford.edu</a> <a href="http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/planetccrma">
