In the boot parameter option I have to remove the option "quite" and "splash"
then to get a textual bootup and to see what the problem of the nvidia driver
might be.
This is acceptable for a power user which know how to circumstance this, but
might be a problem for other users. It should be possible to login at least and
to see the error output of the X server.
