Nvidia problems again-Debian lenny


Hey
i have downloaded the latest nvidia drivers from the nvidia site, and all the necessary stuff (gcc-4.1,headers e.t.c)

But when i try to install the drivers i get an error message saying that
!Error: the kernel you are installing for is a Xen kernel.

The problem is that i dont have a xen kernel

i have on my computer the following packages:
linux-headers.-2.6.25-2.686
linux-headers.-2.6.25-2.686.common
linux-headers.-2.6.686
linux-image.-2.6.25-2.686
linux-image.-2.6.686


The first question is do i need all of these headers

and the second is what to do with the nvidia installation??

You could also do it the Debian way. Get the drivers from Sid.

Thanks a lot
the patch found on the link you gave me was excellent.

I have a new problem considering my web browsers if anyone knows a solution

As soon as i isntalled my debian, Epiphany and Iceweasel would not work.
I got this message on the system log

Aug 13 00:38:44 noname kernel: [ 387.853153] epiphany-browse[4255]: segfault at d68c39ec ip b7f30f6b sp bf93e334 error 7 in ld-2.7.so[b7f26000+1a000]
I experienced a couple of problems with my hard disk and i think tha may be thats the problem ,or maybe not!
Also i tried to remove epiphany and putting it back again but the Synaptic wants to remove "gnome" to , so i didnt do it!!!

I installed iceweasel though and it works ok. But not having epiphany working is a bit of a prob.
Any suggestions on whats wrong?
