NVIDIA suggests that kernel-source is indeed used.
Here is the error directly from the nvidia installer:
===========================================================================
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This is most
likely because the kernel module was
built using the wrong kernel source files. Please make sure
you have installed the kernel source
files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example,
be sure you have the 'kernel-source'
rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are
installed, you may specify the
kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline
option
==============================================================================
What is the kernel-sourcecode package used for?
Thanks,
Ernest
