Thanks for the comments Phil. Yes, for critical servers (like my 
Asterisk PBX) it makes sense to freeze kernels. However, this problem 
isn't normally an issue for critical servers, because no sane person 
would have kmod-nvidia on a server...

All I'm trying to do right now is set up family computers that can run 
TORCS (a driving game) and other games, without incurring a "management 
burden". So it would be nice if it self-updated the kernels and drivers 
automagically, like all the other software on the system!
