Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.23.1-37.fc8 is needed by

Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.23.1-37.fc8 is needed by 
package kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-37.fc8

Why are these dep errors?  I already have:
rpm -q kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-37.fc8
kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-37.fc8-100.14.19-14.lvn8.x86_64

and
kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-37.fc8.x86_64

And, as it said,
kernel-devel - 2.6.23.1-41.fc8.x86_64 converted to install
kernel - 2.6.23.1-41.fc8.x86_64 converted to install

So installing those would not remove the others.  Why is this a conflict and 
how can I fix it?  I also have yum-fedorakmod-1.1.8-1.fc8.noarch  which I 
thought took care of this sort of thing.
