Start with my configuration:

RedHat Linux 8
kernel version 2.6.2

Geforce MX2 32meg memory video card
driver version 1.0-5336
mainboard ECS K7vza

The problem is that I am able to install the new drivers, 1.0-5336, but during the installation, I get a "kernel tainted by NVIDIA" message. Xserver seems to run okay, but after rebooting, lsmod does not show the nvidia module running, and insmod reports the nvidia directory is not found. I reinstalled the drivers, and got a message they were previously installed. I suspect a driver conflict, but am not sure where to look. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
