It's a mess. :-(
That's after I did a yum remove of the 184 (I think it was).
You have missing symlinks (If you run the original command, you'd see red-blinking lines). nvidia.ko built by dkms is still there, etc.
If I were you, I would completely remove dkms and all nvidia.ko and symlinks above. Then do a clean install of the kmod package ( http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia-173xx ).
Don't need that - I've got NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.20-pkg2.run from NVidia, I think, and I run that, and it rebuilds the drivers.
I'll clean the leftover junk; that's a good idea, though. Thanks.
