+<PRE>Kernel update troubles. The 3.3.8 kernel came down this afternoon
+along with the nvidia modules. Installed them and restarted the PC as
+advised. No video driver but a message flashed by which said
+something like nvidia 297.51 already installed against this kernel
+(which was true of 3.3.6). The log messages gave no clue. All they
+said was could not load nvidia, presumably because the module had not
+been compiled against the kernel.
+
+X fails also under the new kernel with xdriver=nouveau. Maybe vesa
+would work but I did not try that.
+
+Now this sort of problem occurs again and again but on some lucky
+occasions dkms (?) comes into action at the reboot and recompiles the
+module and all is well. Why should it be so hit and miss, mostly
+miss?
+
+To send this I have had to choose the 3.3.6 kernel at boot time.
+XFdrake does not work in console mode so I am stumped at this point.
+
+Am I missing something, apart from my grey cells?
