The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.1) does not exactly match
the current compiler (gcc 4.2). The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects
kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that
of the compiler used to build the running kernel.
If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check,
select "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort
install ation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler
used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now? (Answer:
No)

ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most
frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or
improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that
differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as
rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from
obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s).
Please see the log entries 'Kernel module load error' and 'Kernel
messages' at the end of the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for
more information.

----------------------------------
is that enough info?
Yes, it is. Install the gcc-4.1 package if it is not on your system
already. Then run
export CC=gcc-4.1
right before you try the installer again. That should allow it to
compile the module and insert it into the kernel. If there are other
difficulties post the new error messages. I think you might still be
missing the linux-headers-* package for your new kernel.
If the installer finishes without errors and nevertheless your X will
not start then we need to see the output of
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Hello,
I tried to do exactly what you are but with no luck :( ... The only
thing i did not try was to export the gcc 4.1. That might help...
