Do a rpm -qa *kmdl* or rpm -qa *nvidia*, you can even go so far as to
add " | grep" and put the name of the last working in there.  That
should give you the listings for all the various kernel modules you
have installed.  Then simply make sure you do yum install for all the
kernel modules.  If you used Jarod's guide, you can even do yum
install lirc-kmdl-$KVER (and likewise for the other modules).

Or, you could install smart, (yum install smart), and install the
correct package to enable axel's atrpms smart repos, and do smart
install lirc and likewise for alsa and nvidia-graphics.
