OK, what does 'apt-cache search nvidia-kernel' say on your system? It might work with 'm-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel' rather than 'nvidia'. I think something was renamed a little while ago and perhaps module asistant in testing is a bit out of date on the current naming. > Updated infos about 1 packages > debian:/etc/apt# pwd > /etc/apt > debian:/etc/apt# more sources.list > # > # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD > Binary-1 20080407-11:52]/ lenny contrib main > > deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD > Binary-5 20080407-11:52]/ lenny contrib main > deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD > Binary-4 20080407-11:52]/ lenny contrib main > deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD > Binary-3 20080407-11:52]/ lenny contrib main > deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD > Binary-2 20080407-11:52]/ lenny contrib main > deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD > Binary-1 20080407-11:52]/ lenny contrib main > > # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: > deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib > # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: > deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib > > deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free > deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib > non-free > deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free > deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib > non-free There is no such thing as non-us.debian.org anymore.
