Yup, it is the 4k Stacks. I rebuilt the newest kernel today with this option disabled
and the nvidia driver works without hanging on X start up.

I had some trouble with TUX(New Linux Network acceleration) had to disable this too.
Otherwise i had some unresolved symbols.

Is there any particular reason why this option was enabled in the latest kernels?
