Clint, thanks for your explanations, but I must confess that I am
puzzled or you describe exactly what is causing the problem.

Ok, there you write you rebooted with kernel .2179. Is that correct?

There you write uname -a showed you kernel .2174!? Either this was
incorrect or the reboot with .2179 was not the case.

Ok, I hardly assume you previously build the NVidia module running
kernel .2174 and that source. But you want to have the module for kernel
.2179.

Clint, don't you see the obvious mistake? You build the NVidia kernel
module running kernel .2174! How should the module build for the newer
kernel .2179? Is that hard to understand?
Ok, short description for you:
1) boot with kernel .2179 into runlevel 3 by entering "a" at grub boot
screen and then adding "3"
2) be sure to have the kernel source for kernel .2179 installed
3) run the 2 CC="gcc32" sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run command
steps you know
4) see how the nvidia.o module found his way into the modules directory
for kernel .2179 by running "find /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2179.nptl/ -name
nvidia.o"
5) change runlevel to 5 using "init 5"
Ready.
