Hi,
After installing snapshot 20180524, with kernel 4.16.10-1-default, I can only boot successfully in recovery-mode. When trying to boot kernel 4.16.10-1-default in standard mode, I get no graphical display, only flashing text, and it is impossible to login.
I have encountered this many times lately (and read the postings on this list about the root cause), but I could always repair it by installing the latest proprietary driver from NVidia, now NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-396.24.run.
#396.24 driver is a BETA. The latest 'official' driver is 390.59. This is the driver that I have installed now, with the effect: no

On one of my computers the beta 396.24 gave me problems (the installation spat the dummy because the card either required a legacy driver OR a driver of the 390.x variety -- never had this problem until last week); but 390.59 installed without any problems.
BTW, you do run 'mkinitrd' after compiling the driver? And then reboot?
Did not help.... But thanks for thinking with me!
My command line for this is (abbreviated): sh ./<nvidia driver> -a ;; mkinitrd ;; reboot
That part about the Mesa driver... It's truly a Catch 22 situation, isn't it? You can say NO ... but you really cannot say NO :-). Whoever thought that one up must have been smoking some potent wacky tobaccy that day :-D .
