Hello, Thanks for your reply. I am using both rpmforge and atrpms, i have not until now had an issue. What is dkms and kmdl?
dkms and kmdl are two different methods of providing kernel modules on your system. dkms does this dynamically on the end user's system, e.g. it ships code and your compiler builds it for any kernel you boot. kmdls are prebuilt kernel modules that are shipped in binary form.
Ideally both yield the same results on your system. Both have pros and cons, and we'll hopefully get the pros together soon.
Should i use one or the other in this case?
Yes, not both, they target the same kernel module, so they will both conflict in one way or another. Just try out one method and if that works stick to it.
Thanks. Dave.

It seems you're mixing third-party repositories ... normally RPMForge will provide dkms while atrpms will provide kmdl ... which repositories are you using ?
