I'm using Kubuntu Edgy with a GeForce 6200TD 128M AGP. I recently did a kernel update through Adept Notifier and X wouldn't start. Got the "error running install command for nvidia". I rolled the system back using a partition image I had, so now I'm back to the pre-upgrade point. Here is what I have listed in Adept Notifier:

Any suggestions on how I can do the upgrade without hitting this problem? Should I deselect some of these? Or should I wait until it is fixed?

On the Ubuntu Forums they suggested installing restricted modules for -11 and this will fix it. I tried installing nvidia-kernel-common but it said I already had the latest version. DIdn't try explicitly installing the -11 ones though - maybe that would work.
