Okay ... so by "kmod-nvidia is re-installed" you do NOT mean the RPM
database, correct?

Guessing it's in the INITRD.
Did you re-build your initial RAMDISK after removing the one and
installing the other?

I'll presume that the remove/install properly cleared out /lib/modules
and stuff like that. If so, then it's likely just finding it in the boot
magic.
