Bug Description

On Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6 - amd64,

I installed on partition ext4, rebooted, did an update, rebooted again, installed VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run, installation went fine.
But when I reboot again, the x server crashes. It says that X can't start. Have to boot in safe mode to get it to work.
Didn't get this problem in Alpha 5.

On notebook, HP dv2422ca
AMD Turion 64 X2
4gb RAM
Nvidia GeForce Go 6150

I reverted to last configuration, so I can use Alpha 6 and try when new updates arrives... I joined my complete system log file.
