Comment 25 for bug 858122

Much like the responder in #24. I became a subscriber to this bug to to the errors that I was seeing after the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. Based on what I'm seeing in my system logs it seems the video driver integration into the latest 3.0.0-12.20 kernel is borked. My upgrade reported that the machine was likely left in a unstable state. I found that I could log into my system using the old kernel 2.6.38-11. I was seeing the symptoms of this bug, but do have symlinks to /var/run and /var/lock. My system does utilize smb4k and nvidia-current for my video driver.

Now I'd like to understand what I need to do to get my nvidia-current correctly installed with the 3.0.0-12.20 new kernel.
