What is your problem?

The closed source NVidia driver _builds without_ the kernel source tree
being installed. Maybe you use the older NVidia driver which builds
against /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/includes/ but fails to load the
module. Use the new, just few days old driver.

To get a kernel source RPM get the kernel SRC.RPM like said in the
release notes. Install it to be able to change the kernel-2.6.spec file.
In line 37 change "%define buildsource 0" to be "%define buildsource 1".
Then build the RPM by running "rpmbuild -bp --target noarch
kernel-2.6.spec".
