I don't update kernels that often.  Other than nvidia updating, I don't
have to reinstall them very often.  Maybe I'm lucky on this one??? 
Still, that buggy driver caused me some grief.  I like to have at least
one option available.  Just going back a version is usually enough,
since it worked before.  ;-)
