Just use module assistant to build the nvidia blob driver. Add non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get install module-assistant m-a prepare nvidia m-a a-i nvidia apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settingsin 2.6.32-5-amd64 nouveau will load during kernel boot. so after you build and install the nvidia blob driver, it will be loaded instead. however as for that boot up session, i couldnt find a way to rmmod nouveau, and modprobe nvidia and go in to X. but reboot was quick and my up time was already lost from the kernel upgrade :)

If so youprobably just have to rebuild the module against the new kernelusingmodule-assistant. of course the nvidia driver is moving to dkmsandIt seems that the "nouveau" driver don't work on amd64, I have tested and revert to the "old" nv driver.
