Hmmm, yum offering up an older kernel than is currently installed.

What is going on is that the most recent kernel acceptable to the livna 
kmod-nvidia module isn't installed, so yum tries to drag it in, only to 
fail because more recent kernels are already installed. So basically, yum 
is doing something sensible, but the livna repository doesn't have 
updates-testing kernel support.
