Do I have to reinstall NVIDIA drivers after every kernel upgrade?

[supernaut]

I just recently shoved my GeForce 2 GTS card into my Red Hat 7.3 box.

After much dismay, I figured out how to install the NVIDIA drivers. My issue was that I was running the 2.4.18-5 kernel and installing the drivers using the "packaged" rpms and not the source rpms.

I ended removing the 2.4.18-5 kernel and installing the drivers on the 2.4.18-3 kernel. The NVIDIA drivers appear to work now.

My question is that if I want to upgrade my kernel to 2.4.18-5 do i need to rebuild the NVIDIA_kernel from the source rpm.
Thanks

Yes. Everytime.
Either rebuild by source rpm or use the tarballs (you will need the appropiate kernel-source to do that).

I prefer to use the tarballs. Never use the uncompressed folders twice. It could cause problems. Always untar the archives and apply make install.

Ditto. Tarballs are the way to go with these drivers.

Thanks for the replies....
I thought that was the case. Looks like i need to put another step in the process when upgrading my kernel.
