Usually, when I get a new kernel installed and I have to reboot, I make sure I 
have the linus-header files installed for the new kernel.. then go to NVIDIA 
to make sure I have the latest driver, then reboot, type the :
export CC=gcc-4.1
then the sh NVIDIA...pkh1.run
then
/etc/init.d/kdm restart

and X restarts.
2 keys, the export command an the kernel header files.. shouldn't matter how 
many kernels you have around, I always have the last 2 or 3 kernels ( and 
header files), so at least I can go back to the last kernel that worked..
