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!
