The nvidia driver is trying to install an MSI interrupt
for the nvidia video hardware, but the driver never receives
interrupts.
The workaround for an installed system is to disable
the use of MSI interrupts for the nvidia driver, by
uncommenting the "AllowMSI=0" line in
/kernel/drv/nvidia.conf and rebooting:

But that workaround won't be usable with the live cd...

What's the mainboard where this GeForce card is installed?
Is it using an nvidia chipset?
