Sorry for the repost, but I too am having these issues.

I am using ubuntu, with the 2.6.22-14-386 stock kernel.

I do get an oops. Once more, it seems to lock my machine completely. It
locks at the point it starts the nVidia driver I believe, but it could
also be locking at X startup. Does not even get to KDM/GDM. I cannot
even switch to a different tty. It gets stuck. My only option at that
point is to hard reset, load a recovery kernel from the grub menu, login
as root, and then do a make rminstall, reboot off the standard kernel
and all is well again. Even a startx from the recovery kernel as root
reproduces the same issue.

Done many times. I have used the tarballs, I have used direct mercurial
access. Happens each time. If there is anything you need from me in the
way of output, or testing, or doing something, I am all for helping in
any way I can to help resolve the issue.

Just tell me what ya need. =)
