I'm also having trouble installing the latest kernel 2.6.30 stable on Ubuntu 9.04. The deb's I tried installing I got from "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30". Technically the kernel installs fine. It's the nvidia modules it seems to have problems with. All other kernels I've downloaded and installed from that site have worked perfectly with nvidia drivers. It's this latest kernel that is the first to not work.
