Okay, you've mentioned a few different problems, it is generally best to focus just one issue per bug report. The powermizer bug obviously already has a bug report. The 180/185 confusion is just that - we left the package in launchpad named 180 even though the driver itself is 185 (we didn't care to have to move all the bug reports from package to package); we'll fix the naming to not show numbers in lucid.

Anyway, so let's focus this just to the unique issue mentioned in the title. My guess is that the driver failed to *build* against the 2.6.31 kernel, rather than that it is failing during install. Could you please find and attach your build log for nvidia? The file will be found someplace like:

 /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/185.18.36/build/make.log

The numbered directory may be different depending on what version you have installed, but if you poke around it should be somewhere like that.
