At this moment I'm using the graphical enviroment but has loaded the system through "failsafe" in lilo menu, logged as the same user when I try to load the OS through "linux"in lilo menu I got the above error. What's going on here?

Loading the module "nvidia" into the Kernel worked great and in order to avoid typing all the time modprobe nvidia, I followed artee's step inserting nvidia into modprobe.preload file.

 

Thanks a lot guys.
