Make sure you don't also have any stray lines refering to the old NVdriver module. I had this a couple of days ago; I tend to keep a lot of old kernels around, so I also had the nvidia module package for each kernel installed. So, while I had the correct line, I also had several lines like: ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-kernel-2.4.4 alias char-major-195 NVdriver ### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-kernel-2.4.4 which confused things. Getting rid of the wrong ones got it working right. I should probably tidy up in general, I doubt I'll ever need to boot 2.4.4. again!
