As title says, computer locks up after trying to load GDM. I am somewhat unfamiliar with the new Grub configuration and boot settings, but it appears the old method of booting into the console doesn't work. Does anyone know the new method? I've bee searching a bit without any luck.
Thanks.

hmm you could try to boot from the live cd, mount your partitions on /mnt, arch-chroot there, and rebuild nvidia
"open source is about choice"
No.
Open source is about opening the source code complying with this conditions, period. The ability to choose among several packages is just a nice side effect.

I can reburn a live cd and do that. I'm just wondering if there's no way to boot into a console with the new grub configuration.

Sounds like one more reason not to use gdm. Solve your problem by appending the following to your kernel line.
systemd.unit=rescue.target
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs

You should be able to just switch to another tty by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1
These are defined in /etc/inittab On my machine, X mode runs on virtual console 7 (F7)

I ran the livecd and reconfigured the Nvidia module. Everything works now.
