I take it you're using the nVidia installer direct from nVidia, not
the debian packages?

If so then for each new kernel you need to run the installer with the
--kernel-module-only flag, this will install the kernel module only
for the currently running kernel, it will not install the nVidia GL
libraries nor remove any kernel modules.
