Fedora 7 - RPM Build Nvidia 9755

I have been running Fedora 7 for a couple of weeks now and must say it
is a really great distro.  I switched from Gentoo and love not having
to configure every single aspect of my system myself.  With that being
said I have run into a snag, since the kernel keeps changing revisions
I am unable to install Nvidia Drivers from an RPM, so I have
downloaded the src and created an RPM myself.  Everything compiles
fine and installs ok, and it works until I restart my system.

After a system restart there are some device files that do not get
recreated (/dev/nvidiactl is one of them) and then I am unable to
start the Nvidia Drivers until I uninstall and then reinstall the
Nvidia Driver RPM that I created.  Can somebody point me in the right
direction so I can start hacking away at this issue?
