Xserver not start after installing linux-sony [SOLVED]

hi

i have a vaio F111Fx laptop .

today i installed linux-sony kernel from aur and i have changed my menu.lst like this :

# Config file for GRUB - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub/menu.lst

#  /dev/sda        (hd0)
#  /dev/sdb2       (hd1,1)
#  /dev/sda3       (hd0,2)

#      256 | 0x301=769  0x303=771  0x305=773   0x307=775

Rebuild/reinstall your Nvidia driver (kernel module).
Kernel modules are for a specific kernel and when you replaced your kernel, the Nvidia kernel module probably wasn't rebuild and therefor the kernel cannot find the module.
