so, i used h2's script to get the latest kernel (great script, btw). everything went well, except that i couldn't get the sources for it for some reason. running install-kernel-source-vanilla.sh fails, saying that there is no source available for the currently-running kernel, so i can't reinstall the nvidia drivers. 
any ideas? thanks! |

There is a small script inside of the unzipped kernel package named slh-source.sh . You can use this to download the sources. ( i hope i am not mislead  )

You never (!) need the kernel source for nvidia drivers. Use
make-kernel-links
to fix your install. Be sure the linux-headers package is installed. |

thanks, EvNu and Kano! my system is now back up and running.
wow, i've installed nvidia drivers many times before and i never realized that only the headers are needed. i guess you learn something new everyday. i downloaded the kernel source anyway just in case i need it for anything else (the slh-source.sh script worked). |
