Bug Description
Something happenend in linux-image-generic since linux-image-
My only solution is to add "nopat" to the kernel command-line. I'm unsure of what PAT actualy is, but works around the error for me. I do not know which of the 2.6.35-8 changes that caused this.

Apparently disabling boot splash by removing "splash" from the kernel commandline is also a workaround for this issue. So I to not thnik it is a kernel-issue anymore. So I changed it to nvidia-current because both linux-image and nvidia-current had been was upgraded prior.
