Thanks to those who showed me the way to solve this problem. If maybe anybody
else has and want to solve this problem i will post exect way to do that:
Download latest NVIDIA graphic drivers at www.nvidia.com and patches at
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=42964

# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg0.run --extract-only
# cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg0
# patch -p0 < /path/to/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1165235.diff.txt
# patch -p0 < /path/to/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1171869.diff.txt
# ./nvidia-installer
# nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
----
here i had to replace driver name
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nv" (here you should replace with- Driver "nvidia")
----
after the reboot where the X should start to boot i recieved the error and then
i had to set inittab to run level 3 and reboot, then
# modprobe nvidia
# cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices/
after this just set run level back to 5 and boot without problems and all works
properly
