I can do that, but I'm worried if I do that then I'll be back to a<br>
system which just hangs and doesn't get to the login screen. The hard<br>
disc I am using at the moment is my backup (i.e. pre 310.44-1<br>
upgrade). The hard disc which I had upgraded to 310.44-1 does not boot<br>
up to a login screen.<br>

Put the "hanging" disk back in and work on that. First thing to try is<br>
to see if it will come up in runlevel 3 so boot, interrupt the boot<br>
process when you see the grub "Starting CentOS 2.6.32... in X seconds"<br>
by pressing Esc. Hit 'e' to edit the current entry, highlight the kernel<br>
line and hit 'e' again, scroll to the end and append " 3" (without<br>
quotes), press enter then press 'b' to boot. It should now boot in<br>
command line mode and you can login.<br>

Hi John,<br>
<br>
I'm Phil, the packager for the NVIDIA packages. Apologies for not replying sooner but I've been away on holiday.<br>
<br>
I'm unable to replicate your issue. Having just returned from holiday, I ran a yum update which installed the latest 6.4 kernel together with kmod-nvidia-310.44 and the system rebooted fine.<br>
<br>
As Trevor advises above, I would troubleshoot on the hanging disk. Boot to run level 3, or if that is not possible try booting from the rescue CD/DVD. First I would try uninstalling the nvidia packages and then reinstalling them.<br>
<br>
Information that may help us/you troubleshoot if required:<br>
<br>
uname -a<br>
rpm -qa | grep nvidia<br>
find /lib/modules -name nvidia.ko<br>
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf<br>
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf<br>
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log<br>
<br>
Anyway, I can confirm there is no underlying compatibility issue with the latest 6.4 kernel and the latest elrepo packages - they are working fine here on my test system admittedly albeit with different hardware.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
