Update: PROBLEM SOLVED I discovered that I was still running on version 2.6.22 of the linux kernel, and the newest 2.6.24 release was not showing up in the grub menu at boot.
I had the newest kernel installed all along, but grub failed to see it. I tried an update-grub, but it didn't work. I had to manually remove the old 2.6.22 kernel before grub acknowledged the new kernel. After that, I booted up, and it has been smooth sailing since. All problems resolved. I discovered this problem when i did a modinfo nvidia as root. I discovered the nvidia kernel module was running at version 2.6.22. From there, I checked the grub menu listing on boot, and lo and behond, only the 2.6.22 kernel (and associated recovery kernel) was showing. So, to anyone having this problem themselves: Just remove the 2.6.22 kernel package from your system, and everything will be fine.
