The problem doesn't appear with th GPL nv driver. Strange enough again 
with the nvidia binary driver, after several recompilings of the kernel 
the trace calls don't seem to appear but following message on modprobe 
(or perhaps it came that this time I manually loaded the module):
nvidia: no version magic, tainting kernel.
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
nvidia: Unknown symbol __might_sleep
nvidia: no version magic, tainting kernel.
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 nvidia.o Kernel Module  1.0-4496

So should i ask nvidia to compile a new driver or is this an issue with 
current kernel?
