Bug Description

Linux GA-MA770-DS3-2 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] (rev a2)

After a kernel update and reboot the Nvidia driver failed to load. The syslog indicated a driver - kernel module version mismatch. Fix was: apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-new-kernel-source-envy

May be a duplicate of bug #261816

Note: The host name "GA-MA770-DS3"-2 refers to a motherboard model but is not what the system currently uses. In fact this particular motherboard was so unreliable even after replacement it will be a long time before I buy another Gigabyte product.
