Correction to previous post - though I may have seen a return of the issue, I
believe I might have more of a clue.

At the time of my previous update I had a working SMP kernel on my machine,
running GNOME. Before updating to the nVidia drivers, I decided to pull in KDE.
To do this, I selected the following packages from synaptic. Please note that in
some cases the selection of one package automatically selects others. I
performed the selection in exactly the following sequence.

amarok
gtk2-engines-gtk-q2
kchart
kcontrol
kdeaddons
kdeaddons-kfile-plugins
kdeadmin-kfile-plugins
kdebase
kde-core
kdegraphics-kfile-plugins
kde-i18n-engb
kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data
kde-systemsettings
kdewebdev
kdm
kmoon
knetworkconf
koffice
ksystemlog
kubuntu-artwork-usersplash
openoffice.org2-kde

This time, when I performed a system reboot, I observed a similar hang as
before. Also, giving power to my speaker system, I noticed that instead of the
usual boot-up soundscape I would expect with KDE [and which I get with the
AMD64X2 4200 machine, all I can hear is square-wave white noise. I tried several
reboots and although I saw minor differences, I could not get the machine to
boot reliably back into an SMP kernel. 

On the last reboot I returned to the uniprocessor linux-image-2.6.12-10-amd64-k8
and everything worked just fine. I now have KDE up and running on the
uniprocessor kernel.

I am going to rebuild from scratch, go to the SMP kernel under GNOME and then do
some basic testing.
I will then revert to the uniprocessor kernel and add KDE and do some more testing. 
Lastly, I will boot back to the SMP kernel while staying with KDE and see what
happens.

Current view seems to be :-

UNI + GNOME  = OK
UNI + KDE    = OK
SMP + GNOME  = OK
SMP + KDE    = Not Working

Regards,

Clive
