OK, good luck! It's out of my depth now :-) The only other thing I was
going to suggest was to make sure that version of the driver supports
your card.
Damn proprietary drivers..
Indeed. However, the solution described in the nvidia readme appears
to haves solved my problem. I simply added vmalloc=192MB to the kernel
arguments and I've been able to rebbot the machine, with nvidia
drivers enabled, several time now. Keeping my fingers crossed...
If it stays good I will put up some instructions on my blog about the
procedure to make it work.
Thanks for all the help so far!
