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?
