Mark,

Further to my earlier message, I have re-read your initial sentence above.

A SL 5.2 system will be using a kernel from the 2.6.18-92.x.y.el5
series. Unfortunately the kmod-nvidia[-*] packages that are available
from ELRepo, although being kABI tracking, will only weak-link back to
the 2.6.18-128.x.y.el5 kernel series (i.e. SL 5.3) and not, like many
of the other packages, back to the original 2.6.18-8.x.y.el5 kernels.

So having raised your hopes, I now have to dash them. Sorry.

Regards,
Alan.
