This is not a bug, it is a support issue and would be better directed to the elrepo mailing list where more people are available to provide quicker answers.

The latest kmod-nvidia package kmod-nvidia-384.59-2.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64 is built for the RHEL7.4 kernel ( kernel-3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64) and is not backward compatible with the older el7.3 kernels, hence your issue. CentOS is going to lag behind Red Hat for a bit and consequently that kernel is not yet available to CentOS users.

You need to install the previous kmod-nvidia release that supports el7.3 kernels. You can do that like so:

yum install kmod-nvidia-384.59-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

You should update to kmod-nvidia-384.59-2.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64 at the same time as updating to el7.4 once released by your distro of choice.
