I try to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1 all is fine except at the end and the module can't be loaded. When i run rpm -qa | grep kernel, i obtain : kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8-1.521 kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131 kernel-2.6.8-1.521 so the sourcecode is installed and correspond to the running kernel.

Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option. -> Kernel module load error: insmod: error inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko': -1 No such device ERROR: Installation has failed.
