In theory, akmods should work fine with kernels compiled from source,
as long as the /lib/modules/<version>/build symlink points to the
proper location.

The only "known issues" I can think of currently with rpmfusion :
 * The nvidia driver is not the very latest because it dropped
   support for some cards, thus would be a regression for some
   users. Until this is fixed, the dkms package from freshrpms
   should still work fine.
 * Cinelerra isn't available for i386 in freshrpms because of
   some build issues I haven't had time to resolve, and isn't
   (yet) availabe in rpmfusion. The review is here :

Please report any other "upgrade" related problems here.
