root_access

This is the problem solution:

It will not build because the kernel sources is for a different kernel revision than the one u have installed...

1. download kernel-source package via URPMI

2. do a uname -r to see the current installed kernel revision.

3. check that the file /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to the same kernel that uname -r returns.

if so, u can follow the procedures in the NVIDIA readme file, and compile the kernel module.

IMPORTANT!!! :

NB! a kernel 2.6.3-4mdk is installed with some Community editions of MDK 10, while the kernel-source from the ftp mirrors installs 2.6.3-8mdk.

This will not work!

Update to 2.6.3-8 kernel first with URPMI kernel, and choose linux 2.6.3-8 kernel.

reboot, and install the NVIDIA driver.

if so, u can follow the procedures in the NVIDIA readme file, and compile the kernel module.

It will now build a module for your kernel.

To be sure u can also do the following (as root offcourse):

export SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux

run the NVIDIA installer.run file with option :

--kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux

BACKUP BEFORE KERNEL UPGRADE.
