Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 1.0.7174-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Since I upgraded to 2.6.13, nothing seems to create /dev/nvidia* entries
for me, with the result that X dies on startup with the message "failed
to initialize NVIDIA kernel module!".
The postinst generates files in /dev using mknod; this does not help
after a reboot.
I've talked to the udev maintainer, and his stance is that a) mknod in
postinst is against policy (at the very least, MAKEDEV should be used
instead), and b) the kernel module should have a dev entry in /sys ("find
/sys -name dev | grep nvidia" returns nothing on my system), or install
an init script to create the device at every boot.
