I have updated my machine from SL 6.1 to 6.2. Absolutely no problem with:

$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia
kmod-nvidia-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

I did not do anything special. Just rebooted the system after the
update and that's all.

Do you have any error message you can show? Like /var/log/Xorg.0.log
when X failed to start?
