Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-185

Running Ubuntu 9.10.
When booting on the 2.6.31-5-rt kernel, dkms starts, displaying:

* Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.31-5-rt
*  nvidia (185.18.36)

The screen immediately starts to flicker. X is not started and I'm
directed to console login. Keyboard is very unreliable (about 1 on 10
keystrokes is actually passed to the console) thus I cannot login to see
additional logs. Pressing Ctrl-alt-del works and immediately stops the
flickering.

After rebooting to a -generic kernel, I can see the following in
/var/log/dkms_autoinstaller :

nvidia (185.18.36): Installing module.
........(bad exit status: 10)
  Build failed.  Installation skipped.
