my recommendation would be to stay with the latest kernel offered in lenny
because it probably has bugfixes/security fixes. instead of using the
prebuilt kernel driver package, try rolling your own with module-assistant.
something like:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source
