ok. that clarifies it, thank you.
Anyway, I tried the module building only, and failed again.

to be extra-safe, this time I booted the rt kernel and did:
sudo ./nvidia-installer -a -K --kernel-name=$(uname -r)

>From the nvidia log I can see the module being successfully built, but not
installed because:

ERROR: A DKMS kernel module with version 310.44 is already installed.
ERROR: Installation has failed.

So, something is still wrong. It would seem my previous installation had
installed a module in the rt kernel, but that module doesn't work with rt
kernel 3.2.xx?

thanks,
cheers,
