-> License accepted.
-> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 1.0-
6629). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-6629), the existing
driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no' will a
bort installation) (Answer: Yes)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (xxx.download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.

ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the appropriate nvidia-installer command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at xxx.nvidia.com.

According to log i already have drivers installed... so
rpm -qa | grep nvidia
result is nothing!
++++++
Tried modprobe nvidia
[root@localhost source]# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Module nvidia not found
++++++
EEEEK!!!!
when looking at xorg.conf, driver is picking up nv (not nvidia) if i change it to nvidia - X doesn't work (i guess cause drivers are not installed!)
++++++
Where do i go now? I have tried a lower kernel (2.6.8.1.24) and lower drivers (6111)
but still have same messages..
