Public bug reported:

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.
