Nvidia + White Screen + kernel update

[Dors]

Hi guys yesterday i updated kernel, i just turn my box on and everything was fine i logged in, and after that the screen goes white, i can move the mouse and move my icons (apparently) but cant see anything, so i went back to kernel 2.6.26.5-45
I enable livna(i just use freshrpms) to update nvidia drivers but i dont see any update. What should i do now?
Im using fedora 9 64bits and a 8800gt

Thanks guys

please tell us how you solved it,, others are looking for the fix to

I just updated the kmod-nvidia, that solved it.
Thanks for all

be warned if Livna and Freshrpm's are both on that can and will FUBAR your system .

Seriously guys, what is wrong with Nvidia and Fedora combination... I have been selling Nvidia cards for years but never got so many calling telling me how these cards are failing... specifically on Fedora...

the cards failing is the new nvidia ( is it the 54nm or 70 nm , something) architecture that has a , sort-of recall on it .
old nvidia cards ,like mine , in the legacy department have some "fun " with the new xorg in fedora 9 .
with fedora if one uses the nvidia.run installer then mesa GL will be over written , easy to fix just reinstall mesa ,mesa-devel .
BUT it one MIXES livna and freshrpm and/or atrpm for the driver ( and dependencies )then the easiest thing to do is reinstall fedora . just use livna OR fresh .both are fine BUT NEVER USE THEM BOTH TOGETHER , use one of the other .

Exactly never both of them, thats why i didnt figure the error, because i need to use livna to update nvidia, but i just use freshrpms, i just enable livna (and disable freshrpms) to update it (i cant exclude updates tryed tons of things without success)

[JohnVV]

yes you can in the repo for what ever repo add
For example in my fedora-updates-newkey.repo

[updates-newkey]
exclude=xorg* linuxwacom* rhpxl* mesa*
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates Newkey

just add an "exclude " line to it
