Comment 24 for bug 770559

The bug is still there in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot. I installed the new
release a few days ago and experienced the same problems with the nVidia
chipset/driver. The suggested solution (
http://www.warp1337.com/content/ubuntu-1104-natty-segmentation-fault-
nvidia-geforce-9-series-kernel-failure-solved) does not solve this issue.

> Bug description:
> After installing the proprietary nvidia driver in Ubuntu Natty (32bit
> and 64bit tested) and rebooting, the system freezes before reaching
> the login screen. The system can boot fine using the nouveau package,
> but as soon as nvidia-current is installed the system crashes. Trying
> to switch to a tty doesn't work, the only way to reboot after this is
> to use the magic sysrq combination, and then boot into text mode to
> remove the nvidia-current driver.

> The card in my machine is:
> 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9300 /
> nForce 730i] (rev b1)
>
> The driver version I installed, both on 32 and 64bit systems is
> 270.41.06-0ubuntu1.
