I installed the new update because I suffered from the hard disk
renaming (Intel PERL865 mainboard). Now I can boot again, however X11
does not start, because it claims it cannot load the nvidia kernel
module (FATAL: Could not run the install command for nvidia). After some
fiddling I could load it from the command line and launch X11 manually.
However I wonder why it was not started on boot, because I just ran the
same /sbin/lrm-video line I found in /etc/modules.d. Maybe some sort of
a race condition on boot?

I do not use any RAID stuff - the / drive (containing all system
components) is connected via PATA and is called /dev/sda. There are two
more disks, both SATA (sdb, sdc), however they just contain Windows and
some linux data - not needed for boot.

I also noticed that I could not start use VMware server in the manually started 
X11. Upon starting a virtual machine it just failed immediately with no error 
message. Trying sudo /etc/init.d vmware-server restart failed to load the 
kernel modules, too. 
Is it correct that there is no updated linux-restricted-drivers package for the 
new kernel?  Seems to be some sort of problem with kernel modules.
