Reinstalled 2.6.27-7 from a 8.10 LiveCD I burned oct 29.
Worked smoothly and system started from HDD after that.
Then repeated "dangerous things":
1) install NVIDIA v177 driver: rebooted ok.
2) upgrade to 2.6.27-9 by accepting all 158 updates available is next up: rebooted ok.

I'm 100% clueless to what caused the problem before. The previous installation was made by the store where I bought the computer and I noticed a few minor differences; the grub menu doesn't appear now, it just boots (or is shown so fast I don't see it) and also the "noaperture" boot param which I needed to get rid of "aperture too small ..." seems to be there already since the "aperture beyond 4GB" message is already there.

The previous installation worked for a couple of weeks until refusing to boot. If the problem reappear I'll report back.
