I have never run into this problem before. Looks like your machine was upgraded from FC3 to FC4, rather than cleanly installed from FC3 to FC4. I have no experience dealing with that condition -- I always do a clean install (personal preference, I guess). Anyway, does the nvidia.ko file you found bear a time stamp that matches the time you ran the installer? As for kernel cleanup, you should probably use rpm -e instead of just blowing away the /lib/modules subdirectories. rpm -e should remove all traces of the obsolete kernels you have lying around, not just the modules.
