Well for me compiling has worked just fine when I use module assistant
(and have gcc-4.0 installed since that is what the debian 2.6.12 kernels
use and hence require, unless you rebuilt it with 3.4 or someone else
did).

apt-get install gcc-4.0 (just in case you didn't already)
m-a -t prepare (sets up kernel headers and build essentials and such)
m-a a-i -t nvidia (builds and installs the module and it's dependancies)

Wow ... I don't understand why that worked, but it worked. I'll look into the how and why later. Thanks so much, Len!

Should I follow a similar method to update my nvidia-glx package in my 32bit chroot or can I just install the experimental i386 debs for this?

Thanks again,

In a chroot, you still need nvidia-kernel-foo in order to install the nvidia-glx package.

Look into 'equivs', to generate an nvidia-kernel package to suit yoru needs, and allow nvidia-glx to install.
