Thanks for the reply. Since I'm a newbie (never done a manual build of the kernel!), I don't know how to do it. Could you provide a clear, step-by-step guide for how to do it?

Well, I believe those rpms were compiled for the stock 8.1 kernel. You will probably have to download the tarballs or src.rpms and build them to your new kernel. smp is for if you have more than one processor. There's a little bitty app on nvidia's download page that will tell you the packages to install. -s
