i got the same nvidia driver issue after upgrading to 9.04. i'm using 8.10 before n installed graphic driver which i downloaded from nvidia.com. during the installation, the driver asked for kernel header (if i'm not mistaken), so i downloaded the kernel's build-essential (sudo apt-get install build-essential) in order for the graphic driver to merge with the kernel.

that was the case in my 8.10 setup.

after upgrading, it seems that the kernel is changed from 2.6.27 (ubuntu 8.10) to 2.6.28 (ubuntu 9.04). therefore i have to install the driver again to merge with the new kernel. only then i managed to get the graphic driver to load in ubuntu 9.04 successfully.
