After installing akmod-nividia package, you might run into a situation where you install a shiny new kernel but the akmod-nvidia package builds, but doesn’t install the drivers for the Kernel. To get it to install your built drivers do this:

    cd /var/cache/akmods/nvidia; ls
    sudo rpm -ivh kmod-nvidia-###########.rpm
    sudo shutdown -r now

Where ############ is the latest number that corresponds to your new kernel number and the driver version.
You might want to check out the fail log to see why it failed. When this happened to me akmod had tried to install, but rpm was locked.
