Can't boot since upgrade to Geforce 8600GT

Description
The computer booted fine with my built-in Geforce 6150, but since the upgrade Haiku won't even boot. Expected behaviour is that it should use the vesa driver (since 8xxx support is missing in nvidia driver) and still boot. I also added 2 GB more memory, but I doubt that is the problem. The upgrade was performed at the same time as Begeistert, so there is also a chance that the changes done then might have caused it.

Remove the driver or the card? If I select safe video mode in the boot menu, I get to the blue desktop. But it stops when the cursor is shown (the whole screen is blue except for the cursor). At this point the mouse used to lit up (maybe a USB problem when I get this far, using ohci).
I'm not sure how to check what ID the card has, but I'd guess it's 10de:0402 (http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=10de0402).

Oh, I see now that the id is listed in the nvidia driver. Wonder if that is really tested.

If it helps clarify, I have never been able to properly get the nvidia driver working with my integrated GeForce 6100/6150 (I believe I have two separate motherboards, one with each of these chipsets).
In my case, it had always booted up to a black screen with BeOS, Zeta, and Haiku - and I was never sure if things were hung or not. Honestly, I think there were other issues preventing a proper boot of Haiku anyway on those machines at the time (back in 2006).
I admit I haven't tried booting in a long time with either of these boards (as they're currently being used for other purposes). Both have only analog VGA ports, no DVI.
If I get a chance, I will try to test them out again in the coming months.

Replying to umccullough:

I've been testing Haiku with Geforce 6150 for a couple of months, and it's been working just fine with the nvidia driver.

I have only tested with DVI.

Removing the card id from the nvidia driver indeed makes it boot to the blue desktop at least (no mouse or tracker though).

Rudolfc tried out the 8xxx cards with his driver by adding most of the device ids. When we tried my laptop with it (8600M), it appeared that it will require quite some work to get his driver to work with the 8xxx series. I guess he hasn't taken out the device ids yet. I have to select safe mode every time I boot. But I do get all the way with booting. Hope this helps Pieter

I looked at my log in ticket #1361, i was in vesa, my device id wasn't recognized. It wasn't stable due to another bug, but i had the desktop at least!

The nvidia driver no longer pretends to support devices it can't support. Fixed in hrev23579.
It looks like the responsible driver, but have you tried to remove it and see what happens then? Also, what device ID does your card have?
