However, the nvidia installer fails when compiling the driver, complaining that nvidia.o can't be found and that this is probably because my kernel sources don't match the kernel.
Did you remember to run "make cloneconfig dep" on the kernel sources? Specially, after a YOU kernel update with reboot.
Don't need to reboot in my experience. Doing make cloneconfig dep in the kernel source directory should be sufficient. Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in as root and type init 3. Take it you have not had the nvidia module running before? If so, check with lsmod, if one is running (I doubt it) remove with modprobe -r. Then go ahead again with the install...Is it via nvidia-installer --update. nvidia-installer -A gives a lot of different options that you can use. Matt
