If the akmod build fails the first time it gets ignored afterward for that 
kernel, I'm not sure how long or if it is ever tried again by default.  You can 
build it yourself with akmodbuild, then install the rpm created, and that should 
allow it to load when akmodsd starts up (the kernel module will be found).

You can look into /var/cache/akmodsd/ for the log file and where the built rpms 
are stored.
