I've the same issue here with my GeForce 8800 GTS.

Doing...

find /lib/modules -name "*nvidia*" -print

... on my system I get this list as results:

/lib/modules/2.6.31-13-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.31-13-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia
/lib/modules/2.6.31-13-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.31-13-generic/kernel/drivers/video/backlight/mbp_nvidia_bl.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko

Like Jack mentioned the new nvidia.ko for my kernel 2.6.31-13-generic was not compiled. Jockey fails to activate it, although I also see it in the list of availabe drivers. Trying to insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-13-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko results in the error:

insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.31-13-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko': -1 Invalid module format

Pure guess work follows. Can this be an issue of some shell-script form nvidia used for the compilation not be able to deal with /bin/dash, which is used under Karmic as default shell-interpreter for scripts?
