I'll try modifing the boot cmd, and if successfull put it into the
menu.lst for GRUB. Haven't tried it yet, but will report results. With
your suggestion, and looking around some I found the following
link/discussion which applies to my machine as I have a Hauppauge
HVR-1600 in my HP m8120n and this is what is probably causing
interactions with the NVidia card. I do see the CX-18 driver getting
loaded during boots. I sure hope this works as I use the NVidia card all
the time and rarely have found a use for the TV tuner ( so far ).

"This is an issue with all versions of the nvidia driver and the cx18 driver module. Ubuntu per se has nothing really to do with it. The problem is there is insufficient virtual memory being allocated to the kernel for both drivers. The solution (in nearly all cases)is to pass more virtual memory to the kernel at boot by configuring Grub to pass the parameter vmalloc=256m to the kernel at boot."

Note that discussion dates are all very recent.
