All I can see for nvidia cards is "nv". There is no "nvidia" driver set that it can see. Is this normal for a machine that has not had a successful boot with these new drivers, or is something else wrong?

Thanks in advance for any comments you come up with.

PS: see my other post for the installer log.

Thanks again.
Try 'lsmod' from root console, is nvidia listed? And what do you get when you try 'modprobe nvidia' from root console?
