I've found the problem. It seems the latest kmod's from livna have some build 
problems. In this case the problem is 

 /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6/weak-updates/nvidia/nvidia.ko

was actually a sym-link to 

/lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko

Note that the kernel version is wrong.... By simply updating the sym-link by 
hand to point to the correct kernel version 
(/lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko) everything works 
fine again.

Note, this problem is not just for the nvidia kmod - I also noticed that the 
ntfs kmod had the same problem 

/lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6/weak-updates/ntfs/ntfs.ko

was pointing to

/lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6/extra/ntfs/ntfs.ko

In this case the older kernel module did exist, so all *seemed* to run OK. 
Neverless I also fixed this link.

Do I need to report this somewhere at livna (or are the maintainers already 
reading this list...) ?
