Since you installed the Powerpack you probably also installed the
nvidia drivers.
These drivers will only work with the kernel for which they were built.
These are closed source drivers and are only offered by Mandrake as user
requested and the drivers for 9.1, as was true with previous, are only
offered by Mandrake in the Powerpack or through the Club.
The nvidia site will eventually offer the 9.1 kernel and GLX drivers
and/or you can dl the src rpms for each and rebuild them to run on your
system, which is what I do.
Unless/until you install the new drivers you need to edit your
/etc/X11/X86Conf-4.
In the module section # all GLX entries and then under the listing for
"driver" change nvidia to nv.
Save the changes and reboot or switch to init 5 and you should be able
to start X without problem.
You can make the above changes by booting the 9.1 kernel to init 3 and
using a CLI editor, vi , emacs, mc or you can do so by booting the old
9.0 kernel either to init 3 or to X and making the changes from there.
