jlc Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 For all those who like to boot to differnent kernels or still using 2.4.x & trying 2.6.x. Grab the Nvidia Driver Now just run the install script on your running kernel # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run Reboot into your other kernel. and run the script again, only with the "-K" option # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run -K This will build just the module for the running kernel and not install the driver again. The driver should then use the right module for the right kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dido161 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 The installer needs to see the same version of the kernel sources as the running kernel. Make sure the "linux" link in /usr/src points to the right kernel sources. If the installer keeps saying "Unable to determine NVIDIA kernel module filename" error after that, run it with " --add-this-kernel" option. It will create a NVIDIA-xxxxx-custom installer in the dir you have run it from. Run this custom intsallerand it all should work great..:) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
