Bug Description

When i start Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 desktop livecd (same on installed system), system just hang. It seems that it load something, and i see black screen at this moment(2-3 seconds). Then, my monitor goes into standby and loading stops. ctrl+alt+del or power button does nothing. Booting the system with nomodeset work around the issue.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2)

I have a similar problem with proprietary nvidia dirver(195.36.24 from repository), but system hand on Xorg startup. I began think that this is hardware problem, but one guy told me to update the driver to 265, and it works. Also, he said that the problem may be caused by incorrect loading firmware. May be same problem with nouveau?

I tested latest images and
1) 10.04.1 still has his bug without any changes.
2) 10.10 Alpha 3 just hang on kernel startup... no stanby screen like in lucid. With nomodeset option it works too.
