Robin,

I ran into this problem myself. It was, i think ner0x who helped me with this 
one.

The nvidia_kernel spell can not cast in a ram drive (why? Who knows?).  In 
order to cast it, do the following:

1. at your command-line, run 'sorcery'
2. Choose 'Option'
3. Choose 'Feature Menu'
4. move the bar to 'TMPFS' and hit you spacebar to unselect it.
5. Hit return all the way out of the Sorcery menu system


That should do it!  I spent all day trying to get the damn thing to work, and 
this simple thing fixed it.
