uh-oh:

I just installed your newly-posted kernel:

kernel-2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.x86_64

and now I'm wondering which of the many nvidia graphics
drivers will work with that kernel.  My previous kernel was

kernel-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.x86_64

which works with 

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9742-pkg2.run
which I downloaded from the nvidia site and installed.
(it's a beta version, but works well with the older kernel.)

However this driver does not seem to work with the
newly-posted kernel.

My nvidia graphics card is nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]
(ASUS EN6600).  motherboard is ASUS 8AN-SLI.
CPU is AMD Athlon 64X2 3800+

Any advice?
