OK,
I have updated my Kernel to 2.6.3 and I have installed kernel-source.2-3mdk and I believe that these match. The kernel source files for 2.4 do not seem to be present in rpmdrake, but the 2.4 kernel is (should I remove it, 2.6 works fine?)....here is the nvidia installer log file:

this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
