I have the same problem under F21, I've upgraded to that kernel and 
there is no corresponding kmod-nvidia driver as yet. I also have the 
akmod-nvidia packages installed but found that the source process does 
not work properly in F21 on my system, as akmods is enabled for starting 
at boot time but it is not compiling the driver as it is supposed to, so 
I have had to run it manually to get a binary driver. You may want to 
have a look at the akmod-nvidia packages from rpmfusion as a means of 
getting a driver if there isn't an already compile driver for you 
installed kernel available.
