"Permission denied" on nvidia.ko built against recent rawhide kernels

[ I'm running FC4test1 fully updated against Rawhide, on a Dell
Inspiron 5160 laptop ]

Has anyone else seen this? Every time I install a new kernel, I
rebuild the nVidia srpm from livna.org against it. The last two times
I did this (1231 and 1233 kernels), I end up with this warning when I
try to install the RPM:

% sudo rpm -ivh
kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.11-1.1233_FC4smp-1.0.7167-0.lvn.2.3.i686.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:kernel-module-nvidia-2.########################################### [100%]
WARNING: Can't read module
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1233_FC4smp/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidia.ko:
Permission denied

Permissions on the file itself look fine to me:
% sudo ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1233_FC4smp/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidia.ko
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4388960 Apr 10 00:36
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1233_FC4smp/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidia.ko

If I boot one of the new kernels, I'm unable to modprobe nvidia, so X
doesn't start properly. (Of course, I can still use the "nv" drivers
with no problem.) This *didn't* happen with kernels up to and
including 1226. Is this an selinux problem, maybe? (I'm running the
"targeted" policy.) Some other package that changed at the same time
as the kernel?

Basically, I'm confused as to what's broken and how to fix it. Anyone
else seen this?
