Yes, I had the same missing module problem when I upgraded to the
2.6.15-26 version.  In my case 'sudo depmod -a' worked, and 'sudo
modprobe nvidia' worked.

Make sure you have the nvidia module by doing:

golfbuf :~$ find /lib/modules/ -iname '*nvidia*'

with results, something like:

/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia
/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/volatile/nvidia_legacy.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/volatile/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia
/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia
/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko

BTW, I have the 26 version installed but find it freezes me after
running some time .. so I have to continue using 23 version.  I filed
a bug on malone, and some others have the similar problem.

HTH,
