       Hello,

       one can also make a nvidia module for an other non running
       installed kernel with  a command like :

  sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run --kernel-name='2.6.9-55.0.2.EL-smp-x86_64' -K
  sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run --kernel-name='2.6.9-55.0.2.EL-x86_64' -K
