i can confirm the same exact error of those above with 2.6.28. it seems to happen whathever you use distro supplied nvidia drivers or not (i use nvidia installer for both kernel module and driver (exactly 180.18) and i could run xorg as soon as i rebooted after installing the module with the nvidia installer (-k --kernel-name=2.6.28-custom) before rebooting in the new kernel. The error seems to appear for everything done with apt (altough it doesn't give issues as the kernel boots perfectly regardless) till you remove nvidia-common which makes the configuration of the package a success. Then reinstalling it is fine too
