See if this helps when installing the driver:
Quote:
My X server fails to start, and my X log file contains the error:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
The X driver will abort with this error message if the NVIDIA kernel module fails to load. If you receive this error, you should check the output of dmesg for kernel error messages and/or attempt to load the kernel module explicitly with modprobe nvidia. If unresolved symbols are reported, then the kernel module was most likely built against a Linux kernel source tree (or kernel headers) for a kernel revision or configuration that doesn't match the running kernel.
You can specify the location of the kernel source tree (or headers) when you install the NVIDIA driver using the --kernel-source-path command line option (see sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run --advanced-options for details).
