For some reason the update to a new kernel seems to randomly point to a

breaks the older kernels nvidia module, so you need to make sure you
boot on the latest kernel by default (by editing /etc/grub.conf to point
to the latest kernel).
The "solution" is to install the nvidia module manually from the nvidia
site download, which is not really a simple option.
Just my two cents, but it has been the simple answer for me. I update
the kernel, re-run the installer and I'm back up and running in minutes,
instead of dinking around with yum doing it's thing and then maybe not
finding the version to match my kernel at first. Nary a burp in the
barrel. Ric
yeah once you've done it once it mostly keeps working and is simple. The
real trick is to unpack the installer and run ./nvidia-installer -K from
that directory to just install a new kernel module for the running kernel.
