Regarding the NVidia module, NVidia themselves haven't yet conjured up a fix for the latest kernels. I hope they do so as one kernel symbol (init_mm) that is needed was temporarily reexported and will again not be exported from 2.6.26-rc. That seems to be the holdup at NVidia, hopefully will be sorted by the time 2.6.25 final appears. NVIDIA_2.6.25.patch.txt can be downloaded from the NVidia Linux forum which works with later 2.6.24-git kernels and 2.6.25-rc. Here I have been running it with kernels up to current 2.6.25-rc5-git5.
