I think (I'm not absolutely sure) "invalid module format" means the version of gcc used to compile your kernel is not the same version as the one you're using to compile the nvidia driver. This could be either because you're using an old kernel or old gcc. Try to update both and recompile the driver. I use an nvidia NVS 280 on my centos 4.4 and it works fine. Michael
