help me

[zander]

You need to install the kernel-devel package for whichever kernel you have installed.

[ddd999]

I have installed kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1786_FC5.i586.rpm
but problem still

[ddd999]

installed kernel-source-2.6.14.3-1tr.i586.rpm
but problem still

[zander]

Please attach the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file generated by the installer after installing the kernel-devel package for the running kernel; also, please do not create more than one thread per problem.

why i586 which cpu is installed on your system...?
if it is > pentium I then a i686 kernel is running and you need the correct devel package.

Which kernel do you have installed on your system (see `uname -r` and `rpm -qa | grep kernel`)?

You didn't install the correct kernel-devel package, you need to install kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1696_FC5.
