The past 3 or 4 times I've updated kernels I've run into this. Axel get 
asked about this all the time on the atrpms list. I've just learned to 
live with it. Basically, before upgrading to a new kernel, I remove all 
kmdl packages for the current one, then do a full system upgrade 
including the new kernel.

Upon reboot X fails to start because nvidia is missing in this new 
kernel. So I get to a console and re-install the nvidia, ivtv, ieee1394, 
and lirc modules (those are the kmdl packages I have installed). Then 
one more reboot and everything is good.

The downside to this (other than a two reboot upgrade) is that my 
'backup' kernel no longer has the modules I need, so if the updated 
kernel doesn't work.... things can get fun.
