2005LE and Nvidia problems [solved]

Dakota · June 8, 2005

I have a nvidia build problem, hopefully someone can help. I followed all the steps in the nVidia documentation all to see a make error. Take a look at my log file and please help!

Are the Mandriva kernel sources installed? Is there a /usr/src/linux in your tree?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, Kernel-source is installed. I've tried everything I can think of and searched all over the boards. I found a few people with the same problems on linuxquestions.org but there is no solution.

Ixthusdan · June 8, 2005

Are you compiling outside of x? Please describe your steps. Don't tell me what the manual says, tell me what you are actually doing.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

These are the steps I am taking.

1. Modify XF86Config Change "nv" to "nvidia" Comment out " Load Dri" and or Glcore Make sure Load glx

2. change init to 3

3. Reboot

4. Login at command prompt at root

5. sh <drivername>

OK. Verify that both the kernel-sources and the kernel match exactly.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes both Kernel and Kernel source are 2.6.11-6mdk

I had the same problem with 6629. For bypassing it it was necessary to edit a line in the nv.c file, unfortunately I can't reecall which one right now. Why don't you try a newer NVIDIA driver? This issue has been resolved...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thank you so much, I thought 6629 was the latest driver. I did try the newer 7174 driver and got the Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko' error.

Where do I go from here?

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel

kernel-2.6.11.6mdk-1-1mdk

kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-6mdk

Ok succesfully compiled! Nvidia.ko error What to do?

NVIDIA: left KBUILD.

-> done.

-> Kernel module compilation complete.

ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This is most likely

because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files.

Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your

kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the

'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source

files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the

'--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
