@Benadette: I've done both several times: upgrade and fresh reinstall; same troubles so it does not seem to matter. I also got the pci bus errors at first, before the nvidia driver took it's place . Do you get to the login prompt? My procedure above, starting at the login prompt with Ctrl-AltF2 or F3, needed to be repeated a few times with a system boot after nvidia-xconfig and then rm of the xorg.conf with another reboot... weird stuff... I know things will fail as soon as the login asks me password twice, complaining first time was wrong. If it asks password once, I am confident to end up to my desktop...
For what it's worth, my /etc/default/grub has now, and this seems best so far: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='acpi_osi=Linux acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"' That said, my system still suffers from 1 minute+ long shutdown times, so I am not there yet. Other than that it seems to run...
