Perhaps not much of a help, but it boots up nicely here:

What graphics card are you using?

That's not nouveau. That's Nvidia's binary blob.

nv is not the nVidia binary blog. It is the old open source nVidia driver.
nvidia.ko a.k.a. nvidia is the nVidia binary blob.

That is not a problem in this case (isn't nv the predecessor for nouveau? and nvidia the proprietary module from Nvidia?). Here are some more lines from my Xorg log file:
[ 24.142] (II) LoadModule: "nouveau" [ 24.626] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so [ 24.627] (II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 24.627] compiled for 1.14.2, module version = 1.0.9 [ 24.627] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 24.627] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 14.1 [ 24.627] (II) LoadModule: "nv" [ 24.627] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nv [ 24.627] (II) UnloadModule: "nv" [ 24.627] (II) Unloading nv [ 24.627] (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
As you see it loads the nouveau module and then tries the nv module, but fails as that one is not available. It is reported as an error, but can be silently ignored as the nouveu module has been loaded.
Why Neal has problems running the latest kernel with the nouveau module is still unclear (runs fine with me).

A hunch, take a look at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting/ and "Xorg fails to start with "(EE) [drm] failed to open device"" regarding KMS. Could it be something there that acts up?
