Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-current

I'm running Ubuntu Lucid beta 2 64-bit on a 3 GHz Intel Core Duo quad
core machine with 4 GB memory and two NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTX's. I had
been using the "nouveau" driver, which works but does not allow me to
use my second and third monitors.

I just tried to install the "version current" version of the binary
NVIDIA driver using the Hardware Drivers applet (which had just been
fixed to make this even possible). The install seemed to go well, but
after restarting the system Ubuntu now will no longer start up.

When I try a normal boot I get a flashing text cursor and a harddisk
light which remains on forever. The recovery mode also no longer works.
I see some kernel messages flash by, but then the system hangs again
with the harddisk light on, this time with a completely black screen (no
cursor).
