Of course... The source is from nvidia-kernel-source. The current unstable version does not work (180.29-1). I think the previous unstable one did not work either, but I unfortunately don't have the logs to confirm that. >> (this is for a 2.6.29 kernel, I don't have the logs for the 2.6.28) >> >> This is very annoying, as I simply can't use my graphics card >> properly without this module, which makes a recent kernel unusable. >> >> I'm unsure from where the bug is coming from: kernel ? nvidia-kernel >> ? or module-assistant ?

Exactly. See: nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-amd64_180.29-1+2.6.26-13_amd64.deb nvidia-kernel-2.6.29-1-amd64_180.29-1+2.6.29-1_amd64.deb The one on 2.6.29 does not load, while the one on 2.6.26 works perfectly fine. Would you like a build log ? How shall I do that with m-a to make sure you get as much information as possible ? BTW, I don't know if that has anything to do with the rest, but: * I run m-a build as a normal user (member of src) * I install the resulting .deb manually as root with dpkg.
