Not sure if we are talking about the same (this applies to the propitary nvidia driver):
ALWAYS when updating the kernel to a new revision (during regular system update with adept-update or apt-get dist-upgrade) X fails to start on the next boot simply because the linux-restricted-modules have not been installed for the new kernel version and so the propitary nvidia driver fails. This is a critical problem (a X failure alwasy is) especially bacause this happens without any indication visible to the user. I noticed this problem since the first Edgy knots but stored it under "small dependency problem, will be fixed soon" but it is still present in the beta state. The workaround is simple: apt-get install linux-restructed-modules-$(uname -r) after every kernel update -- nvidia module not found https://launchpad.net/bugs/61603 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
