Public bug reported:

Computer
Model            MS-1633X (version MS-1633)
Manufacturer Micro-Star International
Form Factor    Laptop - amd64 dual-core Turion X2 Mobil TL-56,  with Nvidia chip sets 
OS                  Ubuntu - Lucid Lynx/Studio 10.04 - Upgraded from Ubuntu Hardy/Studio 8.04


 The Ubuntu 10.04 Studio installed software offers only the 2.6.31-10-rt kernel.
I have the Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-22-generic, and 2.6.32-22-preempt kernels installed that nvidia-current 195.36.15-0Ubuntu3 works well with.

 The nvidia-current driver didn't work if I tried to boot to the
2.6.31-10-rt kernel, therefore I upgraded it through bojo42's PPA for RT
Kernels ( https://launchpad.net/~bojo42/+archive/rt ). After synaptic
processing completed, Notice area showed that nvidia-current failed to
install.

 I know that I compiled my nvidia-current to the standard
2.6.32-22-generic, and 2.6.32-22-preempt kernels, and that the 2.6.33-rt
I installed is a newer non-matching number kernel.  But I have never had
problems with compiling nvidia proprietary drivers for this machine
under Ubuntu Hardy, and so expected that the Lucid - Nvidia Hardware
Drivers would work in a similar manner.

I'm at a loss for solutions at this point - after googling nvidia-
current - the ubuntu forums - reading bug reports -etc. not much
matching my current situation - probably because Ubuntu 10.04 is so new
?

 
( Excerpt from bojo42's PPA )

Ubuntu 10.04 uses a 2.6.32 based kernel with graphic drivers from
2.6.33, but for 2.6.32 there are no rt patches and so Ubuntu does only
ship an old 2.6.31 based realtime kernel. This PPA provides a 2.6.33
based realtime kernel so you can have for example the full graphic
experience of Ubuntu 10.04 and even some new features of 2.6.33.

The kernel itself is a plain vanilla 2.6.33.X with the latest rt
patchset and configuration is based on the matching 2.6.33.X build from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline plus some changes for
realtime usage. So if you run into any problems check if got them with
the mainline kernel as well, if that isn't the case you know that it's
specific to the realtime patches and configuration.

In case i miss an update of the rt patchset
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/) just ping me:

BTW if you use a rt kernel on a desktop machine, you will notice that PulseAudio randomly crash at audio playback. See Bug #367671 for this.
#############################

I'm not sure how to proceed with a solution here - Is Ubuntu - Debian, or Nvidia causing the driver not to compile for multiple kernel versions ?
In any case, it sure is not very user-friendly.
