dmesg, or in /var/log/messages?
What happens if you run akmods --force from the command line (as root)?
(If you aren't running the kernel you want to build for, add --kernels
<kernel-version>.)
FWIW, aknod worked smooth as silk here (Quadro NVS 140M
2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64) and even with legacy drivers (GeForce FX
5400 2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i686.PAE).
I'm using the akmod for a while now (on 4 different machines) and they seem to work just fine.
However, make sure you:
1. Install the required packages: (64bit with multi-lib in this case)
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586
akmod-nvidia.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.86_64
2. Build the required modules:
/etc/init.d/akmods restart
/etc/init.d/nvidia restart
3. Add the missing module configurations in xorg.conf
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/drivers"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
4. Restart X.
Hope it helps,
