Yum is telling you that it can not install the latest kmod-nvidia version because it requires the CentOS 7.7 kernel, which is not yet available to you. By installing yum-plugin-elrepo, the plugin will mask (hide) from yum any kmod package which requires a kernel which is not available to yum. Once the CentOS 7.7 kernel becomes available to you, yum will then also see the corresponding kmod-nvidia update for that kernel and you will be able to update as required. Regards, Phil
