I am also sure that it is not the case (nouveau). 

I installed opensuse11.4 as a last trial. 

But I've got same error with the trial before (centos 5.5, xen provided by 
centos)

Let me elaborate little bit. 

Test...
 1. nvidia-smi works fine
 2. devicequery also works fine.
 3. except devicequery, all applications fail. Error message is same " 
cudaSafeCall() Runtime API error : all CUDA-capable devices are busy or 
unavailable."

Nvidia-smi & device query means it is possible to access the device correctly. 

I guess,,, the problem is cudasafecall doesn't work at all even though the 
function is used in almost all GPU programs. 

I hope somebody to break this monster..
