From backup, I have r288246 kernel and nvidia.ko  (v11)
from source, I have world and all except those TWO files at r298350 )(v11), nvidia (newer) won't load with older kernel
A few at-boot scripts no longer work as expected... but no other major problems (swap is present again)
(multi-user boot works) 

Best practice maybe to update the kernel?  It is a custom one from way back in 2004 initially
without sound drivers and without debug symbols...  and many esoteric lines added which I cobbled
together at first then changed per diffs of GENERIC over the years...

Thanks for any known methods
