Hmm.. did you get a kernel update at some point and not yet reboot?
noops
Is that the kernel you're currently running?
yes it is
Maybe make sure you're running
the right kernel and see if you have kernel-devel installed for your
kernel. If so, it should have given you
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.PAE
however this directory does not exist. mistery...
at this point i've given up. i am going to restore the entire system to
its initial state, then upgrade and proceed up to the point i can use the
system with vesa driver.
then i'll remove old nvidia modules and related kernels and manually
install new ones. let's see.
