  The 'nvidia.ko' module has to be recompiled for every kernel change.

  The 'easy way' is to just re-run the installer.

  If you don't have that http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html has 'em.

  The slightly more difficult way is to --extract-only the Nvidia 
package you got above, go to {nvidia package version}usr/src/nv and type 
'make install'.
  It will just compile and install the kernel module. (It does need to 
find the kernel headers though), instead of re-installing the entire kit.

  I'm happly running the latest 8178 on 2.6.15.1
