NVIDIA Driver Installation

[flores.facundo]

Hello!
I tried to install the Nvidia beta driver 302.07 and 302.06 on my Fedora, but both give me an error: "Unable to build the Nvidia Kernel Module".

So This is my nvidia-log:

nvidia-installer command line:
    ./nvidia-installer

So, how to fix it?...
I saw it: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=177474, but I don't know how to change that line: ""#include <asm/system.h>""... I newbie, so I'll appreciate your help...
Thank you!

I have built 302.17 for F18, the packages will also work with F16

su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig
yum --enablerepo rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 -x nvidia-settings,nvidia-xconfig
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

P.S I didn't need to patch for the 3.4 or 3.5rc kernels
