On reboot - X fails to start - nvidia module is not loaded and the
/dev/nvidia* device files are missing.

Check to see if the line "alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia" is in your
/etc/modules.conf

Now I am confused - this alias is not listed in the NVidia instructions and
in any case during install '/dev/nvidia0' and '/dev/nvidiactl' are created
okay - they disappear on reboot.

Can you explain what the effect of this alias is or why it is recommended -
thanks.
