You can actually use the -k option to build the Nvidia kernel module for
your new kernel before you boot your new kernel.
From:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run -A
-k, --kernel-name=[KERNELNAME]
Build and install the NVIDIA kernel module for the non-running
kernel specified by [KERNELNAME] ([KERNELNAME] should be the
output of `uname -r` when the target kernel is actually
running). This option implies '--no-precompiled-interface'.
If the options '--kernel-install-path' and
'--kernel-source-path' are not given, then they will be
inferred from [KERNELNAME]; eg:
'/lib/modules/[KERNELNAME]/kernel/drivers/video/' and
'/lib/modules/[KERNELNAME]/build/', respectively.
