That's to be expected.
One cannot blindly install the latest "akmod-nvidia*". You need to
find
out which of them is supposed to support your GPU on [1] and choose
the
corresponding *kmod-nvidia package.
According to this page the *-358.* series doesn't support the
"GeForce
8600M GS" [2]. I have an older desktop with a "GeForce 8600 GT",
where
the same applies.
However it does support the GeForce GT 730, which is my card.
