Hi, sorry your rpms don't work.  When I do rpmbuild --rebuild on them, 
they complain about not having kernel-source = 2.4.24 installed.  which 
is because I'm running a 2.4.24 that I boult from ftp.kernel.org's 
source, I'm not using a kernel rpm.

When I do export CC=gcc32 and ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328pkg0.run 
--kernel-include-path=/usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include --with-this-kernel 
and  it starts compiling.  then when I runt he custom file that it 
builds using --kernel-include-path=/usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include it 
errors out saying Unable to load the kernel module nvidia.o.
