nvidia module does not exist in /proc/modules

Hi!
I compiled kernel with grsecurity from AUR. everything goes fine, and my system boot with a new kernel.
Only thing i have a problem with, is nvidia module.
I'm tried to makepkg nvidia with ABS way, but i get errors:
ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules
In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manualy.

I"m trying to do:
modprobe nvidia

but i get:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.32-grsec-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): Cannot allocate memory

When i write :find /lib/modules -name nvidia.ko
I get: lib/modules/2.6.32-grsec-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko

When i write: uname -r
I get: 2.6.32-grsec-ARCH

Any help please..

Re: nvidia module does not exist in /proc/modules

you have to reboot after installing nvidia because the > 2.6.34 kernel has nouveau and is using the card.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: nvidia module does not exist in /proc/modules

Showing here modprobe -v, logs and nvidia's PKGBUILD would be useful...
