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.

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