I fixed it on my machine.  I was using dual mons and hardy .16 kernel
removed the nvidia drivers.  I went into recovery mode and X recovered
itself and backed up my xorg.conf and replaced it with somethign fairly
generic and useless.  BUT, I could now boot into hard kernel .16.
Unfortunately both my monitors were showing the same thing.  So much for
dual mons.

I got it working again though without much trouble.

I went to system preferences, appearance, anmd I saw I was running in
non-3d mode.  So I set it to "normal" this prompted me to install the
nvidia driver.  Which it did successfully.  I then copied my old
xorg.conf back from the backup and rebooted.  All was fine with my dual
mons again.

Cheers.
