PROBLEM:
On my system, X is unable to load the NVIDIA binary driver after the kernel update. Not the famous "kernel module and X driver version mismatch", the X log just says it encountered an error loading the NVIDIA driver module. The package versions are:

nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu7
nvidia-glx-new 1.09755+2.6.20.5-16.28
nvidia-glx-new-dev 1.09755+2.6.20.5-16.28

WORKAROUND:
I choose the pre-update kernel version in the boot selector screen and it's all back to normal.

OPINION:
This is exactly the kind of **** that keeps Linux from being ready for prime time. Some poeple should check their priorities maybe.
