It's really annoing if you need the -server flavour (in order to use ram >3Gb, for example) *and* you need restricted modules, such as nvidia.
You can solve it doing the following:
    * Install the nvidia-kernel-source package. Make sure nvidia-glx, nvidia-kernel-common are already installed as well. And install the linux-headers-server package.
    * Follow the instructions for METHOD #1 in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-sources/README.Debian.gz
    * Once you have installed the new package, the module should now be in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server/nvidia/, I had to cd into /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server and run depmod manually as root.
