After trying to install that latest group that included the kernel
update, I couldn't get X working.  My nVidia drivers wouldn't build. 
Since I found that I had a lot of problems (hard freezes on the server;
flakiness on my desktop) with the most recent kernel on both machines
(same mobo, processor and video setup); I downgraded the kernel on my
desktop machine to the last 2.4.24.  The server doesn't use the nVidia
drivers, so that's upgraded.

It was a headache, to say the least.
