I have the same problem. On every version change of the kernel, my
nvidia module gets broken. It simply creates the nvidia.ko only for the
active kernel.

I have just upgraded to 2.6.27-5-generic, dkms was called and didn't
report any errors, but your find command only shows:

/lib/modules/2.6.27-4-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/last-good-boot/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko

I tried to completely remove all nvidia related stuff and re-installing
it, but it doesn't help

Ouptut of the reinstall command (Some parts are german)

There is no such make.log, only the following:

find /var/lib/dkms/ -name make.log
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/177.76/2.6.27-4-generic/x86_64/log/make.log

I even tried to remove /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/177.76 and then tried a
reinstall, which gives me the following error:

Error! This module/version combo is already installed
for kernel: 2.6.27-4-generic (x86_64)
Done.
