Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-new-kernel-source

I recompiled the Ubuntu kernel from source 2.6.24-15.27 together with
alsa-source 1.0.16-0ubuntu4 and nvidia-new-kernel-source
169.12+2.6.24.12-15.33 and created Debian packages from them to install
them. This kernel boots well except of one detail - it does not load the
'nvidia' driver as the default kernel does.

I used the original kernel configuration from Ubuntu, except the processor 
family settings, which I changed to Core 2 / Xeon or newer and symmetric 
multiprocessing, nothing else. After unpacking all 3 sources and configuring 
the kernel I compile it and produce the deb packages this way (in a script):
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-snapshot" fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd 
--revision "$2" kernel_image kernel_headers modules modules_image

I tried even renaming the new kernel module nvidia -> nvidia_new.ko
after installing it, but this is not the point, so this is NOT a
duplicate of #107368 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/107368)

In /var/log/messages I get the following:

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or whether I do something wrong, but
I cannot find any useful hint.
