Try switching to nvidia-current. nvidia-173 is a legacy driver and hasn't been updated yet to the new ABI
** Description changed: Upon boot the Ubuntu bootscreen appears, but then disappears again leaving me hanging somewhere around "* Starting CPU interrupts balancing daemon [OK]".. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later. But I've yet to see my login screen or any X activity at all. I've tried with both nouveau and nvidia-current, no change in behaviour. Jumping around to other tty sessions is not a problem and the system is working. Just not X..
