[clug] Diskless mythfrontend and NVIDIA problems

Hi Everyone,

I'm playing with building a diskless mythtv frontend. I'm running
mythbuntu ( upgraded to lucid ) currently as a combined front and back
end, with the end goal being, for now, a diskless atom based frontend.

Following some fairly straightfoward howto's I have myself a diskless
image.  The frontend hardware boots fine, however, I can't for the life
of me get the nvidia driver to load up.  Without it, I'm not going to
succeed with getting VDPAU working.

The problem appears to be getting the nouveau driver blacklisted so that
the nvidia driver will load into the kernel.

I've tried all sorts of permutations of apt-get remove etc etc.

one suggestion to add blacklist=nouveau to the append option doesn't
work either. 

Any help or suggestions gratefully accepted.

Peter.
