To possibly assist I turned on debugging in nvidia.c and found that it 
hung in the call to register_framebuffer. I then added some additional 
debug in that routine and it appears the hang occurs in the call to 
fb_notifier_call_chain.

Please let me know what else maybe needed.

Please:

- get sysrq working:

	set CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y, rebuild, reboot
	echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
	dmesg -n 8

- make it hang

- Hit alt-sysrq-T

- Send us the resulting output

Thanks.
