Public bug reported:

Nouveau blacklisting fails when /usr is on seperate partition.

cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf 
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
blacklist nvidia-173
blacklist nvidia-96
alias nvidia nvidia-current

File exists as above and 'update-initramfs -u' was run.

System fails to blacklist nouveau and as a result nvidia drivers are
unable to claim the device and boot.

This is clearly some type of race condition with upstart and not being
able to access /usr/lib at time of boot. A temporary fix was to modify
and include 'and local-filesystems' to the start line. This seems to
slow down the boot process, but the driver was blacklisted.

/etc/init/udev.conf

start on virtual-filesystems and local-filesystems
