Check which packages you really had installed!
rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort
rpm -qa | grep header | sort
You need the kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl if you have the .2149
kernel running to build the NVidia driver module.
The header are glibc dependant and not based on a specific kernel! So
you can't have found kernel header .2115.
$ rpm -qa | grep header | sort
glibc-headers-2.3.2-101.4
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36
This is what you see if you installed the header packages in an
up-to-date state.
