No problems here, running kernel 760 and nvidia drivers 6629. There are 
patches  for the driver that some people need to use for 2.6.10 kernels 
posted on the nvidia support forum, but I've not had to use them on 
either of my two boxes. From your message it wasn't clear when the hang 
is ocuring - is this during the graphical boot?  Have you followed the 
previous advice in this forum and also the nvidia forum about creating 
the needed devices in /etc/udev/devices?

Jonathan.
