Not a linux bug; the kernel packages don't provide any nouveau components. Can you provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and/or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old) showing a boot with nouveau crashing your system? Do you have the appropriate linux-headers package installed? My first guess would be that the nouveau kernel module is not getting autobuilt for your new kernel because you don't have the necessary headers installed.
