Are you using a(n Ubuntu) DKMSised package for the Nvidia kernel module?

$ apt-cache search ^nvidia-*kernel-source
nvidia-173-kernel-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source
nvidia-71-kernel-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source
nvidia-96-kernel-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source
nvidia-180-kernel-source - NVIDIA binary kernel module source

At least 180 builds fine against the latest mainline (30-rc8).
