Nvidia PNY fx5500 wont work on SuSe 10.0 freezes on boot


I have a PNY fx5500 and when i boot the boot process freezes at:
Coldplug
Coldplug :cleaning /events hwup:module 'Ip' for device printer
Processing events
Creating /var/log/boot.msg

Any Ideas any1?
Also when i try to install the drivers i get an error message sayin my kernel was installed from bad soucres(something like that) and it wont install the nvidia drivers. I have a 2.6 kernel in SuSe 10.0

Thanks

Hello!

You should use the nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com ->drivers.

em yeh i tried and em well it says i got the rong kernel source

and just now my card is in but i am using the onboards graphics. So surely if the card can half display the boot process then there wood be no need for drivers since my machine recognises the card and starts to boot with it?

but i dont no
tnx
