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.
