OK ... some things to check.
Are you running kernel or kernel-smp. ... also, what is your arch ...
You can do the this command to tell:
uname -a
Here is an example output:
Linux myth.home.local 2.6.9-27.ELsmp #1 SMP Sun Jan 1 18:52:29 CST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
----------------
Next, make sure you have the kernel-devel (or kernel-smp-devel if you
are running the SMP kernel, like I am in my example) ... for instance, I
need to have kernel-smp-2.6.9-27.EL installed if I want to rebuild
kernel modules.
the following will let you know which kernel files you have installed:
rpm -qa kernel*
---------------
If you have a matching kernel and kernel-devel ... or a matching kernel-
smp and kernel-smp-devel then the nvidia drivers should build fine.
