well, i just remembered that fron 2.6.9 to up there's a rename of one
fuction in the kernel, so you can try this:

run NVIDIA-XXXXX-6111-pkg.run --extract-only
then in the source direcotry, in src/nv/nv.c with an editor change every
"pci_find_class" into "pci_get_class"
finally run nvidia-installer to recompile and install.

i got this trouble with 2.6.10 and 5328 and i supose that it's the same
problem...
