Same here. This particular box, however, was just built last week using
the new sarge netinst CD. I'm running the 4496 packages on all of them. I
build the kernel and driver the Debian way. Untar the kernel source, make
menuconfig, make-kpkg kernel_image. For the modules, I make-kpkg modules.
In this case, I untarred the nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz tarball, ran the
2.6 patch before doing the make-kpkg modules.

Yep. That was the first thing I checked when looking under 2.4.23.
When I tried to load the module under 2.6.0, I got the message
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.0/nvidia/nvidia.ko):
Invalid module format
However, the module was loaded under 2.4.23...
