I mean, why would the correct module load at startup, but not

another driver for the same card somewhere that isn't loading

something interfering with the order in which it's being loaded?

it's a good hypothesis, it's just not going to be nvidia.ko -- there
could be some other module!

Maybe there's something in the logs that would give a hint where to
look.

that is a good idea.
