If he has done these then does anyone know how nouveau could still get loaded? The next step would be to add nouveau as a rdblacklist line in the kernel arguments, it looks like this is now done via GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub.

I just placed rdblacklist=nouveau in the grub command line and also added it to the blacklist.conf file and then rebooted and nothing. It blinked about 3 times and then the readout it showed in the beginning and then 1 minute later the error message: iwl4965 0000:0c:00.0: Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load=1.
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.
