If you use Nvidia's proprietary video driver, any time you update 
your kernel, either with an official kernel update from your 
vendor/distribution, or via a custom homebrew kernel update, you 
must relink the Nvidia kernel module.  It doesn't matter which 
distribution you are using, it must be done.  There are 
instructions on the web on how to do this.

Alternatively, redownload the Nvidia driver and reinstall it as 
per Nvidia's instructions.
