Ok...here we go.
I have version NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run installed and running
in the 770 kernel. I've tried to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1.run in 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 and the following
happens.
I end the session and go to a console login. login as root cd /home/neal (where the file is) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1.run message that the same version is installed, would I like to remove it and install again. I answer yes. then says it must download a kernel interface and says no matching one was found then it builds the kernel module and says its done then it uninstalls the driver and re-installs it then says its done please go update xorg.conf etc. if needed then when I reboot I get an error when it should load the driver which says nvidia.ko not found and it loads a generic driver.
Does this help? Thanks!

Sorry for jumping in a bit late here, but all initial steps sound proper and the last problem sounds like the udev issue which has been referenced previously.
Review the steps on this page:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/
Scroll down to the nVidia section towards the bottom of the page and follow the two steps there. That should solve the re-boot problem. I don't remember, but you may have to redo the nVidia installer one last time after the above steps.
Then the only other time you would need to redo the nVidia installer is if you boot a new/different kernel.
I have the 7174 driver (using the nVidia installer) running just fine with the latest 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 kernel.
HTH,

I have the current udev installed so it should be ok, right?
Installed Packages Name : udev Arch : i386 Version: 039 Release: 10.FC3.7 Size : 1.3 M Repo : installed Summary: A userspace implementation of devfs
reference to nvidia on that page look like in relation to an older version. Thanks.
