@Krzysztof Matusik I just checked this. There is a nvidia kernel loaded

jolo@jolo-desktop:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia

nvidia              10195198  0

agpgart                32075  2 nvidia,via_agp


jolo@jolo-desktop:~$ dmesg | grep nvidia

In the meanwhile I found another workaround. Instead of adding "nopat" in /etc/default/grub and update-grub, I added just one space in /etc/default/grub between quiet and splash 
and I did the ussally update-grub.
 
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update

# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.


GRUB_DEFAULT=0

#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet  splash"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""


Thus with two spaces instead of one space in /etc/default/grub between quiet and splash the nvidia error seemd to be fixed for me. I also added this file as an 
attachment.
