What a mess. :-/

1. Fully update your system

yum update; reboot

While rebooting, make sure you choose the latest kernel, if there's more
than one installed

2. Identify all kernel-related packages:

rpm -qa | grep kernel

3. Remove all kernel-related packages except the latest kernel and
kernel-devel packages

rpm -ev kernel-2.6.9.... kernel-devel-blah...   ....   ...

Make sure you're not removing the running kernel. ;-)

After that, remove all the remnants from /lib/modules (anything not
related to the current kernel).

4. Enable Livna

wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm
rpm -ivh livna-release4.rpm

5. Install the NVidia driver package:

yum install kernel-module-nvidia
