Bug Description

After activation of latest update by Package Manager the X window failed to initiate sending me to check the log file.
Comparing the failed log with the previous I found that With New Kernel(l2.6.17-12):could not load the NVIDIA kernel module.

With previous one: (12.6.17-11) works OK although not smooth (see below)

Its not an issue- I rolled it back to previous kernel and do not try to

Hi Vax,

I just wanted to let you know that the 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel tasks. However, the Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS release just came out - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download. If you do choose to upgrade or even test Hardy via a LiveCD and see that this bug is still present, please feel free to reopen a new bug report against the "linux" package. Thanks again.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.17:
