    I take it you're using the nVidia installer direct from nVidia, not
    the debian packages?

    If so then for each new kernel you need to run the installer with the
    --kernel-module-only flag, this will install the kernel module only
    for the currently running kernel, it will not install the nVidia GL
    libraries nor remove any kernel modules.

    Cheers
