I didn't have any luck in the past trying to install it to more than one 
kernel for some reason. I'm using the self installing driver from 
Nvidia. It only works for a single kernel. When I boot to a new kernel 
it wants to remove the driver from one and install it to the new kernel. 
One kernel only, there must be a way to use it for more than one.
