No kidding! You need a new kernel module for a new kernel. Welcome to
the joys of out-of-kernel kernel-modules.

Get a decent kernel SRPM (that generates kernel-specific rpm names) and
rebuild it, otherwise, get the one from NVidia and be very careful to
'rpm -i' the resultant binary rpm, if you use -U, it will "upgrade",
meaning your 9.0 kernel will no longer work with the NVidia driver.
