Centos 5.3 kernel problem with nVidia GTX 480

[worknit]

I get the following error when trying to install the drivers for my nVidia gtx 480 card:

I verified these files do indeed exist.

Please help!

That's not an error. That's just the script commands for the check echoed to the screen. The test doesn't actually fail. Do you have the full nvidia-installer.log file?

[artem]

Do you have kernel-devel package installed?

That log shows a successful install. What's not working? Please read this guide to further diagnose the problem: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678

I have two of these cards installed in my system but only one shows up:
