Thanks for answering. No errors in the log file. I tried to load the
nvidia module using modprobe and the answer was the same: FATAL module
nvidia not found (while it is in the right directory)....

So I run depmod -a and the problem is solved, but this does not explain
why akmod did not run (or failed to run) depmod after building the module.
