That is NOT 169.12-4.

There is no 'nv' subdir in -4 anymore.

Make sure you actually have the new one installed and that you let
module assistant actually extract the new one and not just reuse the old
one.  Best is to delete /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel first to get rid
of any old garbage.  I don't know why module assistant doesn't do that.
