Absolutely sure, renamed nvidia.ko(and checked after booting through lsmod) and hanged or restarted as always.
I don't know why normal boot without this module and init=/bin/bash and manual start of klogd both leave completely nothing in logs(kern.log, messages and syslog, as these boots never happened)

so, you are absolutely sure that this happens without nvidia driver?

if not, rename the nvidia kernel module and try again.....

(but this case leaves no logs becouse logging is down too)

kernel logging should still be there (dmesg), but it may not go to /var/log/messages.
you may start syslogd/klogd manually in that runlevel

The problem is reproducible, as I wrote, also while booting through init=/bin/bash parameter(and in init 1, but with hang instead of reboot) so before loading any modules or nvidia drivers(but this case leaves no logs becouse logging is down too)
I mentioned first and last line as commented, just to ensure that it's everything about this symptome(timestamps suggest that)

Sorry, you'll have to ask Nvidia to help you with this: we don't
know what their driver is up to, and don't have any "NVRM" errors in
2.6.25 source; they should be grateful for your reproducible test case.
