Further news... I managed to boot find by installing older kernel
2.6.31-21-generic (from ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/),
still with the nvidia-current (195.36.15) package.
So far, it seems to work all right - I had a graphic message telling
me that nvidia-current had failed
Hi,
I have a similar issue: I am testing Lucid on a PC (amd64) )with two nVidia
cards (one 9600GT with two screens attached, and ont GTX295 for CUDA
computing). Kubuntu (beta2) installs fine, and works all right with the nouveau
driver.
Since I need CUDA, I installed nvidia-current

Installing drivers from nvidia.com is not a supported way to install
them and will not work like you said at the moment because of the
extensive changes done to the packaging in lucid. 195.36.15 is available
through the package manager as nvidia-current, and you can activate it
through hardware
Thank You for your response, but as I said in my original post,
Installing using the nvidia-current package causes the system to crash
during bootup. This is after removing all traces of the binary nvidia
driver from the website, and all traces of nouveau. The crash appears to
occur before any log
