Actually, this is a devfs issue and is actually discussed in the
README that comes with the accelerated Nvidia drivers.

They suggest re-installing the accelerated drivers each time before
starting X. This does work, but even better is to disable devfs

In you lilo.conf, add 

        append="devfs=nomount"

in the xfs-1.0 section (or in the global section if you like).
