To clarify/summarize: When upgrading directly from 8.04 to 9.10 (Kubuntu
Karmic Upgrader), the following minimal change can be made to prevent
the nvidia binary driver from failing to load:

1. edit the lrm-video file:
sudo nano -w /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video

2. comment out the following line with a hash mark:
#install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS

3. reboot, or restart the X server

Note for KDE4 users: when the nvidia driver is working again, your
screen resolution may increase on login, then decrease again, making
your panel inaccessible (my panel is set to autohide).  Create a new
panel, add a system tray widget to it, then run krandrtray.  Now use
krandrtray to increase your screen resolution to maximum, and the panel
should reappear.
