Package: nvidia-kernel-common
Version: 20110426+1
Severity: important


I have debian installed on usb hdd, so it is possible to boot it on many
computers. And I have many video drivers installed on it.
/etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel from nvidia-kernel-common creates /dev/nvidia0 and
/dev/nvidiactl on every boot, even I don't have nvidia card. And on each access
to /dev/nvidia0 udev tries to load nvidia module and computers freezes for
several seconds. flashplugin-nonfree tries to do something with /dev/nvidia0
several times at start and computer freezes for about half a minute.
