Can't load Nvidia driver on Fedora 9 x86_64

New install on a machine with the following:

00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 
7050/nForce 610i (rev a2)

Kernel:

kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64

Livna is available, the following have been installed:

kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64

However, the nvidia module cannot be loaded; it exists, but the error 
says that it doesn't.  Anyone else seeing this?  At this point I'm using 
the VESA driver ...

[root at willow ~]# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia 
(/lib/modules/2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko): No such device
