The obvious thing that comes to mind here is a mismatched kernel module.
Try inhibiting as many modules from loading as possible (boot single user
if you have to), booting, then moving /boot/kernel out of the way (its a
directory), then rebuild & reinstall the kernel again. Also move /modules
out of the way since those aren't usable anymore.

Is the NVidia module being used?
