In order to be certain, have you appended 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to the end of the grub (assuming you're using grub) entry for that kernel? AFAIK it does not boot correctly with the NVidia drivers without it.
Hello Everyone
The good news is that in my 10+ years using Linux, I am almost certain that
I have never had a kernel that would not boot...
Last night I ran "yum update" and it pulled in
kernel-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64. When I attempted to boot it, the boot
process seemed to complete, but X never started.
Since I have never had this problem before, I don't know precisely what
information that you need.
I am running an NVidia video card, with the proprietary NVidia driver,
installed from RPMFusion. After failing to boot
kernel-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64, I can reboot and choose another kernel and
it boots just fine.

Again, I can boot fine from every other kernel. I just can't boot from
2.6.32.
If all I need to do is try running without the proprietary NVidia driver,
please let me know specifically how to disable that driver the easiest
possible way. Translation: so that I can just boot back into an older
kernel and continue using the proprietary NVidia driver if I decide to do
that.
Also, not only have I never had a problem with being able to boot a
particular kernel, I have never had any problems with the proprietary
NVidia driver.
Let me know any additional information that you may need to help me with
this issue.
