I must say that it's kind bizzare. I installed ubuntu 11.04 today, I upgraded everything to natty-proposed, rebooted installed nvidia-current rebooted and my 8600M GT has started working. After few hours I rebooted once again and my nvidia stoped working.
I found that topic and decided to migrate to kernel 2:32 like it was in post #20, after reboot I realized that I hasn't changed grub config so I won't be able to run old kernel but to my astonishment I my nvidia started working once again on kernel 2.39.
I looked into logs and there are still errors that my card is unsupported. I don't want to reboot my notebook to test If it still will work.
My kernel log in attachment:
May 28 13:32:29 mk kernel: [ 719.758153] - I think it's time of my crash when my card didn't work
May 28 15:13:16 mk kernel: [ 16.824761] - and here it's working

I'd love to help and post more info if need.
