I can think of two ways to solve this problem but I'd rather have some expert advice. What's the best way to boot with the new kernel, install the nvidia driver and of course update the NVIDIA kernel module?

The following worked for me:

1. Download the latest driver packager from NVIDIA (e.g., NVIDIA- Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run) 2. Boot the new kernel to run level 3 (or wait for it to fail to go to run level 5) 3. Log in as root and run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run and answer the prompts

Oh yeah, you will most likely need to have the kernel-devel RPM installed so that it can rebuild the kernel module for CentOS.
