nvidia-173 173.14.30-0ubuntu8: nvidia-173 kernel module failed to build

[kyleabaker]

Tried to install nvidia 173 drivers in 12.04 alpha 1 (since the nvidia-current drivers have issues with my card... nvidia 7300le).

After appearing to succeed, disk jockey reported a failed install.

I've not experienced this issue in previous releases.
