Greetings. It appears that I don't have an nvidia kernel module for the
latest kernel for f17. Please see the appended for some details about my
system.
The system boots fine into run-level 3 with the latest kernel, but it hangs
"forever" when I try to boot into run-level 5.
Fortunately, the system also boots fine into run-level 5 with the penultimate
kernel, which I'm using at the moment.
I installed the *kmod-nvidia stuff shortly after f17 appeared, and I've been
happily sleep-walking through kernel updates ever since. Now I've been rudely
awakened.
I've rebooted the system several times, on the theory that one of the *kmod
packages would "notice" the version mismatch and compile a new module. That
hasn't happened so far.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Any comments? Thanks.
