Hi list, today I tried to update my CentOS workstation (7.6.1810). My problem concerns kmod-nvidia update. Nvidia driver where installed by elrepo. During running yum update I get:

kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo
elrepo

and I also get several statements like this:

I noticed that running “yum list kmod-nvidia” I have installed version
430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo and now is available version 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo and the first thing that I see is minor release change from 7_6 to 7_7.

  • Yes, please install yum-plugin-elrepo which will fix the ‘issue’ for you.

    Yum is telling you that it can not install the latest kmod-nvidia version because it requires the CentOS 7.7 kernel, which is not yet available to you.

    By installing yum-plugin-elrepo, the plugin will mask (hide) from yum any kmod package which requires a kernel which is not available to yum. Once the CentOS 7.7 kernel becomes available to you, yum will then also see the corresponding kmod-nvidia update for that kernel and you will be able to update as required.
