Jack Question.

[Dave Andruczyk]

You just need to reinstall the nvidia kernel driver for the new kernel.  The
kernel module gets installed into /lib/modules/kern_vesion/... so you would
need to install it once for each kernel you plan on running...

Best to download the linux driver (it's a self installer of sorts) from
nvidia's website and install it when booted up on your new kernel and all
should be OK.
