Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I upgraded this machine to Lucid and am using an older Nvidia card with the Nouveau driver. The machine boots and the GDM screen comes up great, but when I press enter on my user name, the password box comes up, but GDM is then frozen and X restarts a few seconds after I try to type anything.

From your logs it seems like you're using the proprietary nvidia driver - both for this boot, and for a previous X session which crashed. Are you sure that you're using the open-source nouveau drivers?
