Hmmm...
Broken it again!

I upgraded the nvidia-kernel-* packages and moved to x.org from hoary 
the other day.

And now I've hosed my nvidia drivers somehow. Confusingly, the binary 
drivers straight from nvidia that I downloaded ages ago 
(NVIDIA_installer...blahblah.sh) work perfectly after you run the thing. 
Even the makefile inside the package is fine. And after you've done 
that, X is perfectly happy.

When you reboot, however, something is broken (or hasn't been run, I 
guess), and you get the singularly unhelpful error log that I've 
attached and no X11. Anyone had this problem themselves and know a 
workaround? (Google has failed me for once!)

Thanks in advance,

Rupert
