I've just installed Scientific Linux 5.0 on my machine
(AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Processor 3800+ on an ASUS A8N SLI mobo,
which has an nvidia GeForce 6600 graphics card)
in lieu of Fedora 7, which was giving me trouble.

(So far, SL 5.0 is much better.)

However I am having trouble getting an nvidia driver to drive the
graphics card.  (With F7 there was no problem since Livna
provides the relevant rpms.)  I tried the rpms available from
atrpms and dag, but they did not work, so i downloaded
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run from the nvidia site and
installed it.  During the install, it built the kernel module; I
said "yes" to OpenGL and "yes" to revise /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and
all appeared to work.  In particular, after the install I gave
the command "startx" and the NVIDIA screen flashed and it worked.

However it did NOT work upon giving the "reboot" command, no
NVIDIA flash screen and no X.  It was as if the kernel module
could not be found using the new instructions in the xorg.conf
file.

Any hints as to how to fix this?  Should I add some path options
to the nvidia install shell script?

Thanks,
