The same thing happens with Feisty Daily (04/08/07) i386. Safe graphics mode does work. I wanted to get logs from /var/log, so what I did was use safe graphics mode, and then kill gdm/switch the driver to nv. I then symlinked /var/log to a real drive I could access after the crash. Here are the logs I gathered for what happens when 'nv' starts, which aren't too revealing from what I can see. I also put the xorg.conf in there that was used.
