Public bug reported:
X refuses to start on 32 bit PAE Ubuntu after todays kernel and nvidia
updates.
When starting the PAE kernel, I get the following message in Xorg.0.log:
[ 42.536] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[ 42.536] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so

I had the same symptoms when I started using the PAE kernel with nvidia
drivers installed using the non-PAE kernel (long time ago). Starting the
non-PAE kernel gives me a working X, but unused nvidia driver since the
driver was installed while running the PAE kernel.
lsb_release -rd:
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
apt-cache policy nvidia-current:
270.41.06-0ubuntu1.1
What I expected to happen:
X and gdm starting up and allowing me to graphically log in as usual.
What happened instead:
No GUI since X refused to start.
What I have not tried so far:
Reinstall nvidia-current while running the non-PAE kernel.
