Experiencing the same problem after upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy. The updater completed the installation of new packages and went into the cleanup stage, and asked me to decide whether to remove obsolete packages. I clicked on the "review" button, and my X session immediately restarted--saw the NVidia splash screen and then the KDM login screen. Updater did not reappear. I restarted and the system booted normally, but X failed to start. Attempting a manual "startx" produced the same "API mismatch" error as Solo0815. However, after some investigation, I found that there were multiple NVidia kernel modules available, and that executing "modprobe nvidia_new" allowed X to start normally. Changing the line DISABLED_MODULES="" in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common to DISABLED_MODULES="nvidia nvidia_legacy" allowed normal boot.
