Boot issues apparently not related to nvidia-96 proposed (96.43.20-0ubuntu1~natty1). I temporarily resolved the boot issue by adding 'nopat' in grub2 per:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/537218>
[" Failed to allocate video memory" nvidia-current on lucid]

Workaround:

$ gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

modify:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nopat"

save.

$ sudo update-grub

reboot.

I've cold-booted & rebooted multiple times now & each time works.
