And we have a winner. You have kmod-nvidia for the non-PAE kernel installed. You need kmod-nvidia for the PAE kernel.

No, you ask for kmod-nvidia alone, and you get the first thing that satisfies the requirement, which is kmod-nvidia for the non-PAE kernel. You just have to explicitly state that you want the PAE one (or run the non-PAE kernel).
