Okay, I think we're getting somewhere. This is different to what it
was doing before? If you can get to a text login screen (Ctl-Alt-F2,
or try Ctl-Alt- F1 through to F8) then check nouveau isn't being
loaded and see if you can get hold of the Xorg startup log
/etc/X11/X.0.org

If you want to be able to rule out the iwl4965 module as a cause at
this point then you can use an rdblacklist=iwl4965 kernel argument
TOGETHER WITH the rdblacklist=nouveau. If X starts up then some
conflict with iwl4965 is the cause if not then hopefully the X.0.org
file will indicate what the problem is.
