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.

>  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.
