This question is really more related to installing drivers to a
"non-booted" kernel.
My computer has an ASUS MB. The video (non-integrated) and network
require the nforce drivers from NVidia. I had manually installed
some audio tools including a lowlat kernel under RedHat 9. But I
decided to install Fedora Core 1 and use Planet CCRMA.
So I installed the CCRMA kernel and source. I didn't expect the
network or graphics to work when I booted the new kernel b/c I'd need
to install the NVidia drivers again under the new kernel. But when
Fedora got to the "graphic" portion of the bootup, the screen went
blank. I thought I'd just switch to VC1 and install from a text
logon, but I was never able to switch to VC1. Now, in hindsight, I
think I didn't quite wait long enough for the system to boot up so
I'll try again tonight. I was in a hurry and had to get to work this
morning.
But, if I had to boot the standard kernel, is there a way I could
install the NVidia drivers from there? How do I tell them to compile
against the lowlat CCRMA kernel? How do I tell them to install to
the appropriate place? It doesn't seem like this would be terribly
difficult. I just don't know what parameters/environment variables
to change.
Thanks,
Greg

from the nvidia documentation :
.....
Since the Linux kernel does not support a binary driver interface, we
provide for rebuilding these files on the target machine (or
distribution)
and then linking with the binary version of the NV kernel driver.
$ make
This will produce one of the following files depending on the system
include directory used to do the build:
NVdriver: which is the installable kernel driver module for
single processor Linux systems
If you want to build NVdriver for a system other than the compiling
system, then you'll need to run the make as:
$ make SYSINCLUDE=/src/kern/my-smp-kernel/include
to generate an NVdriver that will work on the kernel whose include
files are in /src/kern/my-smp-kernel/include. This kernel must
have been completely configured (make menuconfig dep).
.....
i hope this helps

So I guess that means I'd have to configure the kernel and make dep
from the CCRMA source package?

Probably because it is not yet in multiuser mode.
You could try to boot into single user mode. At the grub prompt select
the kernel you want to boot into and type "e" (edit), go to the kernel
boot line and type "e" again. Go to the end of the line, erase the last
entry (can't remember the spelling but that is what starts the graphical
boot) and replace it with "single" (without the '"''s). Press
"b" to
boot. You should eventually get a root prompt and you can then install
the drivers...

Regarding your graphics problem, I'd suggest you to either boot the old
kernel, and just change the driver that its being loaded in XF86Config,
either to "nv" or VESA; or just edit the file /etc/inttab (you may do so
in with the older kernel or from a rescue console) and change the run
level to which the computer will boot (run level 5 is the X Window
Syste, 3 is just VC with networking). That's done in this line:
id:5:initdefault:
Change the 5 for a 3 and reboot with your new kernel, install your
drivers, and once you have X running smoothly (by issuing the init 5
command), you may revert to runlevel 5 in inttab.
Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone.
I'll give these ideas a try tonight.
