CentOS - Aug 2019 - kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64 fails to install

Everyone,

On August  2, my desktop unit updated with
kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64nnn
which broke yum having a multiple of dependencies not being present.  I
uninstall kmod-
dvidia with the hopes that a fresh install would fix the provlem, but it did
not.

nvidia-detect returns :

kmod-nvidia
An Intel display controller was also detected

I was hoping that this was a repository problem that would become fixed, but I
am still now
unable to reinstall kmod-nvidia.

Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone have any suggestions as to how
I might
begin a fix.  I would surely like to use my nvidia card again.

Thanks for your help!!!

The latest from elrepo - kmod-nvidia-430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm -
is built for EL 7.7 and is not compatible with CentOS 7.6.

kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64 is the last that will work
with the latest CentOS 7.6 kernel.

This issue can be taken care of by installing yum-plugin-elrepo from ELRepo.

kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64 is the last that will work
