nvidia fails, nvidia.ko not in right place?

I upgraded to 2.6.11-1.14_FC3
Then pulled over the latest nvidia driver:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1.run
It installed correctly, no error messages. But on restart, it failed to find
the nvidia.ko file
so did not install the driver:
/var/log/messages: Checking for nvidia kernel module failed
This was working just fine with my previous FC3 kernel, so I looked in the
modules folder:
/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidia.ko
Noticed that nvidia.ko was in the video/nvidia/ directory - it was not in
the video/ directory itself, which is where the file ended up after running
the NVIDIA driver install.
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.14_FC3/kernel/drivers/video/nvideo.ko
I created a folder video/nvidia, and copied the above file over, rebooted,
and all is fine.
Is this a bug in the NVIDIA driver install, or in the 2.6.11-1.14_FC3install?
Not sure if I should report this, but sending this email in case anyone has
suggestions for a better fix.
