Well, there is an nvidia.ko there now:

kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686
/lib/modules/2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686/extra/nvidia
kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686
/lib/modules/2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko
But it's not a match for the kernel I am currently using, which is:
# uname -a
Linux *** 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Aug 4 13:57:11 EDT
2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
And...
rpm -qa|grep nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386
kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686-173.14.12-2.lvn9.i686
kmod-nvidia-PAE-173.14.12-2.lvn9.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686.PAE-173.14.12-2.lvn9.i686
kmod-nvidia-173.14.12-2.lvn9.i686
Is telling me that I have nvidia packages for kernel
2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 and 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686.PAE. So I should try
booting one of those kernels. Which worked. Don't forget to
nvidia-xconfig. And as always, with nvidia proprietary drivers
(installed from livna), the usual system/administration/display panel
doesn't work, instead use nvidia-settings from the command line.
There was a note yesterday or so that the Livna nvidia packages for the
latest kernel are delayed. Keep trying....
buena suerte,
Dave
