I am using the 16k stack size kernel from Linuxant because of the my wireless network card. I have everything working but when I used the default kernels from fedora I could use the kmod-nvidia from livina worked like a charm, but now I would like the same for this 16k kernel. Where or how can I create one for this kernel. I can't play any videos on the 16k kernel mplayer says there isn't any resources for the video driver to play the video.

Does livna provide an SRPM? If so, rebuild it, and you'll be set. If not, just install the official nvidia driver package from nvidia.com.

They do. I rebuilt the nvidia package before, though I can't recall if it was on FC4 or FC5. But it worked with only a few minor mods to the specfile as I recall (somewhat documented mods at that).

what's with the stk16 ? At any rate, you need the packages it told you need above. Install them with yum.

stk16 is the 16k Kernel Stack from http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc5-kernel-i686.php
I downloaded all that yum would download and I am still getting this:

Perhaps its already installed with the 16k stack kernel? You can always try using --nodeps. Or just install the official driver package from NVIDIA's website.

Please ignore the people who blindly tell you to use YUM without actually reading what you are asking.
Anyways, the solution should be there on the website you have listed above: Development (SMP) kernel-smp-devel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.stk16.i686.rpm.zip 3.8M (or Development kernel-devel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.stk16.i686.rpm.zip 3.8M) This looks to be the file it requires the "kernel-devel" package includes a reduced portion of the kernel source: the kernel headers. This is required to build drivers against the kernel you wish to use.

Even if you rebuild the package, you won't get the nvidia driver to work on 16k stack kernel. The 16k stack kernels are binary incompatible with the 4k stacks of the standard kernel. Since nvidia driver only comes as a binary module for 4k stacks, it is incompatible and you can't get a compatible version. At best, the module will fail to load. At worst, it will crash.
The same thing happened when Fedora went from 8k stacks to 4k stacks. The nvidia driver was only available in 8k stacks and would not work on the 4k stacks kernel until they released a new version.
