How nice. Better to ask on a more appropriate forum though.

The real error is earlier in the log with the (EE) prefix. The error
message you provided gives no information at all.

Anyway, I've found that I had to load the nvidia module manually some
times. With kernel 2.6 it's loaded automatically (by the nvidia XFree86
driver), but my 2.4 setup seems to load it manually during boot.
Mind you I haven't used 2.4 in ages.

So configure your distribution to load the module at boot time. Even if
it's not necessary, it's harmless.
