Debian Bug report logs - #432746
nvidia-kernel-source: module build fails with error message
There's enough information linked to this document to figure out what
happened and how to fix it.
While my original nvidia installation showed the same error message
originally reported in this bug, which is why I was monitoring this one
instead of the one mentioning the paravirtualization problem appears that
this is actually the same problem that caused the problem reported in the
paravirtualization bug... and may well be the reason why a whole lot of
"grave" functionality bugs are suddenly being reported.
The following are fair usage quotes, I recommend reading the discussion to
get all the information. I am running the nvidia driver on 2.6.21-2-k7 with
full OpenGL functionality right now, and my suspend-to-RAM now works
properly. (I was previously running with the VESA driver since I couldn't
get nvidia to install either from the versions in repository or from the
nvidia binary)

post #9 (from nvidia employee)
"Default Re: Install fails with Debian 2.6.20-1-k7 +
Linux-x86-1.0-9755/Linux-x86-100.14.03
The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver calls udelay(), which has traditionally
been available to non-GPL licensed modules;"
post #16
"And based on it I wrote a small script that does exactly what these steps
say except that i fixed the Makefile.kbuild so that the missing
paravirt_ops symbol is correctly linked from inside nvidia-installer. No
kernel rebuid is needed."
