Xserver hosed after 2.6.29 kernel upgrade

Question

I upgraded from 2.6.27 to 2.6.29 today via pacman -Syu.  Since then, I have not been able to start X at all.  I was running the nvidia driver, but my attempt to run vesa drivers had the same result.
hostname: Host name lookup failure
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.4913

I've never encountered this before... it won't even load vesa drivers...

Answer 1

I was gonna post a thread like this, but I'm glad I've found this one . Seems like I have the same issue for about 5 days now and can't resolve it in a simple way (without changing the distro for egzample).
Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f34a761e
Here is my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/fc443b0f
The most important fragment of log (as of my point of view):
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x813278b]
1: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x51) [0x80dda61]
2: [0xb7fb2400]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
The problem doesn't exist when I use nv driver, so it may be nvidia drivers issue. My nvidia driver: nvidia-driver-96xx
PS. And please don't tell me about Type1 and Freetype modules - the crash like here takes place even when I comment loading those modules in xorg.conf.
