If the message appears before 'LILO' message, it's related to MBR program. Check the docs, I as far as I remember the info is there. Hope that's useful, David. Hello Shaul! At the end, I used XFree86 3.3.6 and it runs perfectly. Don't understand or interested in knowing the drivers stuff in NVIDIA page that wanted XF 4.0. Thank you for your help.
