Argh.  vga16fb strikes again!  The only reason your system is booting at
all is because you seem to have 2 monitors plugged in - for some reason
vga16fb doesn't kill nouveau in that situation.

Can you try booting with the “blacklist=vga16fb” kernel option - to do
that, go to the GRUB menu (you may have to press shift early in the boot
process to access this menu), hit ‘e’ to edit the boot options, and add
“blacklist=vga16fb” to the end of the kernel line, after “quiet splash”.

That should make everything work properly again.  Could you please
confirm that?
