Right, it was a security update. I have now installed the 2.6.12-17 kernel and kernel source and nvidia-dkms packages and still get the message about nvidia.ko file not found maybe my kernel source is not correct, etc. I had this problem in the past and it is a bummer. I think that Mandriva needs to figure out how to do the process so that all is updated and the nvidia driver is able to load on command. Something is missing here.
