compiled nvidia module fails



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I am unable to use the nvidia module compiled from nvidia-kernel-source
that is used with the nvidia-glx package.  On boot-up, the computer
freezes when gdm starts.  The error message I get in the logs is

Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module

This is using a 2.6.7 compiled kernel on Debian unstable system.

I have tried recompiling the kernel, as well as reinstalling the entire
system to no avail.  The nv module works fine.

I cannot obtain any more log messages as the computer freezes and
requires reboot, losing any messages before they are written to the hard
drive.

I think the problem started after an apt-get update/upgrade, the
nvidia-glx package may have been upgrade.

Has anyone else had trouble like this?  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim
