keeping kmod-nvidia and kernel upgrades "in sync"

Hi all,

I've just started using the livna nvidia driver, 
kmod-nvidia-1.0.8762-2.2.6.17_1.2157_FC5 . This is obviously meant for 
use with the 2.6.17_1.2157_FC5 kernel. However, yum is pulling in the 
latest kernel, 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 (and making it the default kernel), 
even though no matching kmod-nvidia is available... isn't yum supposed 
to look after dependencies like this?

How are kernel and kmod-* supposed to be kept in sync? (I'd rather not 
use yum excludes, if I don't have too).
