I've ran into this too, and got this solved by blacklisting the nouveau module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (adding a line containing just "blacklist nouveau"), and adding modeset=0 to my kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst (I am still on grub-legacy, don't know how it is done on grub-2 unfortunately) This made the system boot fine, but X didn't start before reinstalling the nvidia drivers. Doing so and rebooted I was in a functional X, just like before the upgrade of the kernel. best regards -- Andreas Rönnquist <gus...@gusnan.se> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
