Karl,
That's very possible. I did find the solution though:
http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-kernel-team/143927-bens-2-6-27-failed-install-intrepid-nvidia.html
Alberto Milone's solution, that is installing the linux-headers, fixed
my problem. For some reason, the linux-headers are not being installed
when I install kernel updates. Not sure why.
Thanks!
Jason
