CentOS - Oct 2014 - No X with new 6.6 kernel

Hey Y'all,

After upgrade to 6.6 my gui will not start.  The problem is probably
related to the dusty old video card I've got in this crusty old machine.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600
GS] (rev a2)

I've got the proprietary drivers installed.  Normally when I update my
kernel the video module is rebuilt automagically.  That probably doesn't
work with the new kernel.

I can get the GUI running by booting into the previous kernel version.

Does anyone know what repository and package name I need to update the
driver for 6.6?

Okay, I erased kmod-nvidia-304xx and nvidia-x11-drv-304xx

I booted into the new kernel and reinstalled kmod-nvidia-304xx and
nvidia-x11-drv-304xx.

After a reboot still no joy.

The Xorg.0.log says:

[    57.575] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module.
Please check your
[    57.575] (EE) NVIDIA:     system's kernel log for additional error
messages.

Where do I find said kernel log?
