       Thanks for the advice, I am going to learn how to do that.

       On my desktop I ran 

       dkms autoinstall --verbose --kernelver  2.6.18-348.18.1.el5

       after adding a 'set -x' in dkms script, before to reboot
       and everything went fine !

       I also dont understand why with 

  # dkms_autoinstaller        A service to automatically install DKMS modules
  #                           for new kernels.
  # chkconfig: 345 04 04
  
          this service start in 26 ?

    /etc/rc5.d/S26dkms_autoinstaller -> ../init.d/dkms_autoinstaller
