Have you taken a look at akmod packages; eg nvidia one, if it sees during boot
that your kernel changed, it rebuilds the kmod, and loads that new module. This
avoids delays between release of new kernels until rpmfusion builds normal
kmods for that kernel (usually very quick, however). Its somewhat similar to
how dkms used to work.
No, what I means is that yum, instead of taking the *newest* kmod, should take
the one which correspond to the *actual* running kernel ( people normally has
some kernels installed but doesn't always use the newest one ).
This situation can be avoied if yum use `uname -r` to decide which kmod version
correspdant.
