List exact steps to get nVidia support.
Yes, Sir! Some kind of politeness would increase our motivation significantly, at least mine.
I was not impolite; you read too much between the lines.

Adding a "could you please help me" - or at least a "please" has a positive effect on increasing motivation of developers.
Just give it a try. BTW: It's not a kernel replacement, just a kernel module.
There is a 1.4M file in GRML repository called nvidia-kernel-2.6.15-grml_1.0.8178-1+grml.07_i386.deb
The file does not say "module" anywhere, so the name confused me. It looks (to me) like a full kernel replacement. Not saying it's wrong, just explaining how I got that impression.
% apt-cache show nvidia-kernel-2.6.15-grml | sed -ne "/^Description/,/^$/p" Description: NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.15-grml These XFree86 4.0 binary drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X Server and support the GeForce (>2), nForce and Quadro chipsets. AGP and flat panel displays are also supported. . This package contains the NVIDIA binary kernel module needed by nvidia-glx. .
