Hi,
Which version of the nvidia module are you using?
Grab the one from experimental. I had this problem too only a week or
two ago. It is because the one in unstable did not support some new
kernel thingy for automatically creating device nodes in /dev.
The debian kernel package creates the /dev files manually when you
install it, which is why it works until the next reboot.
The experimental version (7676) at the time I got it works fine.
cheers
