Did you reboot into the new kernel BEFORE you
ran rpmbuild --rebuild? It won't work
unless you do that.

I generally do the following to upgrade:
1. get new kernel & source
2. rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX_ver
3. rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel_ver
4. Edit /etc/inittab so that default runlevel is
3
5. reboot into text logon.
6. rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel_ver.src.rpm
7. rpm -ivh NVIDIA_kernel_ver.i386.rpm
   (usually placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386)
8. rpm -ivh NVIDIA_GLX_ver.i386.rpm
9. startx
   Everything should work!!
10. edit /etc/inittab so default runlevel is 5

Thats it.
