I did this and it installed the lastest kernel's PAE version.  And its
running too.  

# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Sep 25
04:56:58 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

HOWEVER... when it was booting, it gave a couple errors about not being
able to find the nvidia driver and it appears not have installed it
either:

$ lsmod | grep nvidia
$ lsmod | grep nv
$ lsmod | grep vid
video                  18744  0
uvcvideo               50572  0
videodev               29612  1 uvcvideo
v4l1_compat            12048  2 uvcvideo,videodev
output                  2476  1 video

There is no kmod-nvidia for this kernel.  I have been using akmod-nvidia
for my nvidia drivers.  Does akmod-nvidia not work with PAE kernels or
do I have do set up something different ?

Thanks
