You will need to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit in the section:

echo -n $"Initializing hardware... "
ide=""
scsi=""
network=""
audio=""
other="nvidia" <-- add this

and the nvidia driver module will load at startup.

However, if you have upgraded to 2.6.8-1.584 kernel, the 6111 driver 
does not install.
