AFAICT this had nothing to do with boot speed.  the new nvidia module
got built for 2.6.28 successfully *before* the 2.6.31 kernel/headers
were installed.

I didn't get low graphics fail-safe.  the console flashed constantly and was completely unusable, not responding to any key press. 
I ssh'd into the machine and tinkered for quite a while.  if DKMS was supposed to run after the first reboot it would've had ample time. 

It would be preferable for DKMS to run after the new kernel/headers are installed, not after the next boot.
The only drawback to that is that it removes all earlier versions so the currently loaded module will disappear (that could, obviously, be changed)
