Just use module assistant to build the nvidia blob driver.
Add non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get install module-assistant
m-a prepare nvidia
m-a a-i nvidia
apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
in 2.6.32-5-amd64 nouveau will load during kernel boot. so after you
build and install the nvidia blob driver, it will be loaded instead.
however as for that boot up session, i couldnt find a way to rmmod
nouveau, and modprobe nvidia and go in to X. but reboot was quick and my
up time was already lost from the kernel upgrade :)

The 2.6.32-3-amd64 kernel works fine.
Are
you running the fglrx or nvidia driver by any chance? If so
you
probably just have to rebuild the module against the new kernel
using
module-assistant. of course the nvidia driver is moving to dkms
and
It seems that the "nouveau" driver don't work on amd64, I have tested
and revert to the "old" nv driver.
