You must blacklist nouveau in the edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the line(s) starting with 'kernel':

Before using the driver, you need to lower your system protection so SElinux doesn't prevent the driver to load.
setsebool -P allow_execstack on

That's it

Hi all;
I've updated to the latest kernel and it boots to a blank screen, nvidia does not start.
Here's what I have installed:

f I boot into the 2.6.31.12 kernel all is fine.
Any help, advice, thoughts?
Thanks in advance
I did the following but still no joy:
changed my /etc/grub.conf file to have the rdblacklist=nouveau :

Before using the driver, you need to lower your system protection so
SElinux doesn't prevent the driver to load.
setsebool -P allow_execstack on
I have SE-Linux disabled
Make sure the kernel extensions are intalled with the Nvidia Driver
not sure what this means, are you referring to the kmod-nvidia packages? If so I do have 'em installed - see my listing above.
Am I missing something else? I still boot to a blank screen.
Thanks in advance
