Not very helpful, perhaps, but I had this same problem and compiled
2.6.3 with the kernel modules as per the instructions found here:

http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html

(...more or less, anyway) and the problem went away. I'm not sure what
was the original cause, however... I suspect that recompiling the 2.4.24
kernel with modules (or just the module, perhaps?) would also have
solved the problem...

That's may well be overkill, however.
