Correct. The latest kmod-nvidia package requires a kernel from el7.6 <br>
(e.g, 3.10.0-957.el7 or above).<br>
<br>
This is reflected in the package release string (.el7_6.elrepo).<br>
<br>
Red Hat typically updates their kernel ABI at each point release which <br>
tends to break backward compatibility with the nvidia driver. Typically, <br>
the nvidia driver is only compatible within a single point release <br>
series (e.g, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 etc) and needs to be rebuilt for each new <br>
point release.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>
Phil<br>
