:I'm sorry but I guess it was my fault, rebuilding nvidia-driver helped.

:It worked correctly ever I was upgrading by world/kernel in the past,
:even I wasn't rebuilding the driver with them. Anyway I'm sorry.

No problem. You are saying that the nvidia module in /modules was
out of date? That would definitely lead to problems.
Most driver modules depend on only a limited set of structures in the
kernel. But if one of those structures happens to change (and in this
case the all-important vm_page structure recently changed) then you can
get fireworks if the modules are out of date relative to the kernel.
It's always a good idea to rebuild the kernel and its modules rather
then just the kernel.
