Bug Description
A fresh install of Saucy/amd64 from either the final beta or today's daily build fails to boot after installing the proprietary nvidia driver. A parallel install of the same daily build, only x86, is not affected.
My graphics card (Zotac GT430 (GF108 chip)) is apparently not supported by nouveau, and not recognized as such, so I must add nomodeset in order to boot the live cd and install. In both cases the proprietary driver was installed from System Settings / Software & Updates / Additional Drivers after the first boot. I then removed "nomodeset" from /etc/default/grub, did update-grub -u -k all and rebooted.

Is the nvidia driver failing to build? Is it complete in /var/lib/dkms/... ? lib/dkms/ nvidia* ...
The attachment in comment #1 does not show any nvidia driver installed. So please look for logs in:
/var/
and attach them here.
If it is installed, please confirm with "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" and also try to get some kind of log from the failed kernel boot. Or even photos.
