nVidia module and Red Hat

[Chen, Douglas]

Hi,

I have one question regarding nVidia graphic card on one of the Linux machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 2).
Everything was OK until the system crashed and rebooted but failed to start X window login session. The monitor keeps on toggling between nVidia logo and message

earth kernel: NVRM: restoring bus mastering! (nv.c:1658)

I can only remote login and this is what the message file has recorded

May 15 09:38:30 earth modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-134
May 15 09:38:31 earth kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 05:00.0 to 64

Can anyone tell me what went wrong and how I can fix it. Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Regards,

Douglas
