+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> dkms will only work if matching kernel-*-devel are installed...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>These are some of the checks I made:
+
+[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">root at belexeuli</A> lcl]# urpmi kernel-headers
+Package kernel-userspace-headers-3.3.8-2.mga2.x86_64 is already installed
+
+[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">lcl at belexeuli</A> ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia
+x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
+nvidia-current-doc-html-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
+nvidia-current-kernel-3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2-295.49-4.mga2.nonfree
+dkms-nvidia-current-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
+nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
+nvidia-current-kernel-3.3.8-desktop-2.mga2-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
+
+[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">lcl at belexeuli</A> ~]$ rpm -qa kernel*
+rpm: No match.
+
+[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">root at belexeuli</A> lcl]# urpmi kernel-desktop-devel
+In order to satisfy the
+'kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-1.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.6-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.6-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-1.mga2'
+dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
+ 1- kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.6-2.mga2-1-1.mga2.x86_64: The kernel-devel
+files for kernel-desktop-3.3.6-2.mga2 (to upgrade)
+ 2- kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2-1-1.mga2.x86_64: The kernel-devel
+files for kernel-desktop-3.3.8-2.mga2 (to upgrade)
+What is your choice? (1-2) 2
+Package kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2-1-1.mga2.x86_64 is already
+installed
+
+Very puzzling. Maybe something does need to be urpme'd as Doug suggested.
