In general this is what the dkms package does (more info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic...Module_Support) so it is a good idea to apt-get install it if you haven't done so already.

I generally compile my own kernels to avoid such issues ,but the repository caught up to me and passed so it installed a new kernel version at the time .I had the proprietary driver from the NVIDIA site which conflicted with some setting and could not recompile again.I installed from Debian repository and all is well .

Hi, jv2112 and jlinkels

jv2112 was correct with the assumption that there was multiply kernels being used 2.6.32 and 2.6.38 and I had always experienced trouble booting into the 2.6.38 kernel and flashing cursor as I experienced with the 2.6.32 kernel latter and hence no Xorg.0.log I'm guessing.But the strange thing was when I reinstalled squeeze to wheezy, updated from update manager which included the 2.6.38 kernel upgrade, installed the nvidia proprietary driver and my backed-up data and rebooted, 2.6.38 booted with no trouble at all and have not had an ounce of trouble to date.But I will certainly heed the advice when a new kernel upgrade comes through. Thanks
