It ( Nvidia Installer ) looks for the kernel source,
and does not find it, it bails out.  The kernel-devel
package is not sufficient to install nvidia binary
driver.  It has happened to me also.  Nvidia driver
worked with FC4 2.6.15 kernel, but with
2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 it does not.  It is ok in my case I
can live without nvidia driver.
