Hi
I also have FL90 and this problem.
The last kernel I've been using without problems was 2.6.34. The next one was 2.6.36 and this one were generating errors. I couldn't load nvidia driver. It was random, I had to reboot two or three times to start properly. Now it's pernament. For quite a long time I've been using 2.6.34 kernel and installing the newest driver from source and it was working.
On some web page I've found solution which works for me.

  echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/remove
  echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

After that I can load driver and start X.
lspci -vvvxxx before and after gives results simmilar to that from Thomas Keil attachments

I attach whole lspci -vvvxxx output, maybe it will help
