Guest jelodavid Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hello everyone! I'm a Linux newbie... I try installing nvidia software and this was i got........ [angelo@localhost angelo]$ uname -r 2.6.8.1-12mdk [angelo@localhost angelo]$ [root@localhost NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1]# make install cd usr/src/nv; make install make[1]: Entering directory `/home/angelo/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1/usr/src/nv' If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. *** make[1]: *** [select_makefile] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/angelo/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1/usr/src/nv' make: *** [kernel_module_install] Error 2 [root@localhost NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1]# Please help me where i can find upgrade kernel source rpm that will work on this Nvidia installer, and also the proper way of upgrading kerner.

devries Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Install the kernel-source (make sure it matches the uname -r). Mandriva uses urpmi to install sotware so do: urpmi kernel-source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. I kind of got stuck in installing.

scarecrow Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 @ ovidiu: Can you mention your actual nvidia card and the nvidia stock installer version? Some older models aren't supported by the latest nvidia driver revisions anymore- you either have to use an older nvidia installer, or an unofficial installer which works with old nvidia hardware.

It's a Leadtek FX5200 (WinFast A340 TD) and the driver version witch I am trying to install is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run I am still trying to install on a 10.1 .

pmpatrick Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 It's complaining that the kernel source doesn't match the kernel you are running.

When i boot into Linux the normal way and go to init 3 the whole text is corrupt but when i got to linux nonfb everything is ok. Why?

Why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really wish I knew, as I also have an FX5200 and facing the same problem, exactly- although I tried every possible framebuffer mode on more than 15 different distros... My solution was the same as yours- I don't use framebuffer at all, the text may be somewhat large, but usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
