I haven't checked today, but I think you'll find that the nVidia kernel
hasn't been provided yet for 2.6.30.  There is typically a lag or a few
weeks or months.

You have two choices - if you need 3D features, keep using your old
kernel for a while and when the nvidia2.6.30 kernel comes out you'll be
good to go.  The other choice is to use the 'nv' driver for a while.
