2.6.4-rc2-mm1 lockup with NVIDIA driver

[Sid Boyce]

SuSE 9.0 Pro on Athlon XP2200+, 2.6.4-rc2-mm1 seemed to cause some 
filesystem corruption with the nvidia driver, using the distributed nv 
driver is OK.
Booted to runlevel 3, installed the latest nvidia 5336 package, init 5 
and video switched to a black screen and there is a hard lockup. No 
problems up to  2.6.3-mm kernels.  Rebooting to 2.6.3-mm4 which had been 
OK now gave a hard lockup.
Did a reiserfsck --rebuild-tree, a number of files fixed, but the 
problem did not go away. Also when starting vi or saving a file edited 
with vi, I get this garbage, the file is however fine.
