Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.12-12mdk

[maparus]

I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do

again many thanks maparus

 

 

[root@localhost maparus]# urpmi nvidia --noclean --resume

One of the following packages is needed:

1- kernel-source-stripped-2.6.14.2mdk-2.6.14-2mdk.i586 : The source code of the Linux kernel stripped for post build. (to install)

2- kernel-source-2.6.14.2mdk-2.6.14-2mdk.i586 : The source code for the Linux kernel. (to install)

3- kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.14-0.mm.3.i586 : The source code for the Linux kernel (to install)

4- kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-18mdk.i586 : The source code for the Linux kernel. (to install)

5- kernel-source-stripped-2.6-2.6.12-18mdk.i586 : The source code of the Linux kernel stripped for post build. (to install)

What is your choice? (1-5) 5

To satisfy dependencies, the following 5 packages are going to be installed (83 MB):

dkms-2.0.5.9-3mdk.noarch

dkms-nvidia-8756-0.1.20060plf.i586

kernel-source-stripped-2.6-2.6.12-18mdk.i586

libnvidia-xorg1-8756-0.1.20060plf.i586

nvidia-xorg-8756-0.1.20060plf.i586

Is this OK? (Y/n) y

Try:

 

urpmi kernel-2.6.12.18mdk

 

and then reboot once install has completed to use the same kernel as your source.

[maparus]

It now says packages are installed

 

Many thanks maparus
