Any suggestions?

There are multiple nvidia drivers in Elrepo, depending on the model of
video card. Install and run nvidia-detect to find out which driver you
need; just installing the "kmod-nvidia" package is not guaranteed to
give you a working driver.

I used nvidia-detect, and installed kmod-nvidia. Even then, the previous installation ran kmod-nvidia with success on twin monitors.

And even then, installing the wrong NVidia driver should only result in X failing to start... but not in a system that won't even *boot*. Startup messages stopped short immediately, I'd say right after initramfs was loaded.

On a side note: before using CentOS, I ran Slackware for a few years, so I know how to configure X and video drivers manually. I've never seen this sort of weird crash.
