I reran the NVIDIA... run versions 304 and 319 several times. Rebooted to the 5 init state. I got either that the versions between the kernel and the NVIDIA drivers were incompatible, the ABI versions were not in agreement or the last few times where a blank screen would appear at the end of the boot. Replacing the libwfb.so from an identical computer with the same version of the OS, brought the desktop up at boottime.
