I get the same error every time I re-start the updater. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Now first remove the rpm database:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
then rebuild the db

I ran into the same problems as mentioned earlier. Mageia 2 on a 32 bit system with nvidia graphic card. The solution for which griffin gave a link worked for me. So I suspect dat in the update someone made a mistake with the links for config and System.map in /boot.

You do not have nonfree-updates enabled and so the nvidia packages have not been updated.
32 bit repo's are enabled by default on 64 bit systems. (To facilitate installation of some popular software that is available as 32 bit only.)
