New Kernel update broke my nvidia module
Since doing a kernel upgrade over the weekend (while moving from debian testing to unstable), I can't get X to start. It won't load the NVidia kernel module.

Anyone has any brilliant ideas on what to do, I'll be most grateful. Any details you need to answer this, lemme know.

Greg, if you see this and someone hasn't already answered, take a look at /home/drook/note_for_greg.txt on knight.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
