When using NVIDIA driver (not nouveau), the driver modules need to be recompiled whenever the kernel is changed or updated. I haven't used NVIDIA driver in a while but I used to, and I had to do this dance every time I updated kernel, or upgraded the whole OS. Since you are using a packaged version and not the tarball from NVIDIA, most likely you can just rerun the installer for the package, which will (probably?) recompile the modules for the kernel drivers. Failing that just uninstall and reinstall the package. Matt M.
