In fact, there are no files anywhere in /lib/modules/ named (or containing) "nvidia".
Yet, as noted previously:

Have I not installed all the required packages?
I don't know what is happening here, but something very like it happened to you around 11 Nov. Then you said it the problem went away on reinstalling the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion, so that whatever nouveau had put in place was overwritten. At that time I thought you were using a current nvidia card, and could use the current driver, but I don't recollect seeing an lspci from you: I think I had confused your thread with one on the mythtv list.

If this *is* the problem, you need to allow time for the kmodule to be built. And I have found that sometimes the normal graphical shutdown/reboot will hang when a new kernel has been installed.
