Mandrake 10.0 Nforce 2 src.rpm build failure
 

Hi,

I hope someone can help with this. I have an MSI K7N2 mobo with the nforce2 chipset. I have installed Mandrake 10.0 and all works fine apart from the sound which flashes up an error and then tells me sound will go to null.

I have grabbed the latest nforce2 driver from Nvidia, I took the src.rpm as the pre-built ones are for 9.2 and I have tried to build this as I figure this will help the problem.

I have kernel-2.6.3.4mdk-1-1mdk and kernel-source-2.6.3.4mdk installed. When I run:

rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm

I get the output which follows at the end. I have tried creating a buildmeister user which gets rid of those errors but it still exits badly.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this rpm built and hopefully my sound working?

Cheers

Iain

Don't worry about the user buildmeister, root will work fine. That isn't your trouble.

Look in /usr/src and see if there is a symbolic link named linux that points to your running kernel source code.

# Compiling/installing kernel modules
You will need to have installed:
1. The developmental packages (compiler)
2. The kernel-source code that matches your running kernel
3. The module source or install code

Check out your system and look under the hood and see if you installed the stuff you need to do the job. Open an x terminal and type in this sequence of commands to see what kernel we are running and see if you have the kernel source installed:I am running kernel version 2.4.20-28.7. Do I have the proper source code?I do have the same kernel version source code installed in the directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-28.7 and there is a symbolic link named linux-2.4 pointing to it.

If you don't see something similiar to this (but in color), you will need to install the kernel source.

NOTE: I noticed that Red Hat didn't make the symbolic link /usr/src/linux that all of the INSTALL files that I have read mentioned that I need. I may as well make one now to save editing the files in the source code every time I need to compile anything concerning the kernel. So, I'll make that link just now:Ah, there it is, so that's done.

Next, did I install the compiler?Yes, I have a compiler installed.

If you don't have those two things installed, you have to install them first off your install CD.

If they are installed, download the source and happy compiling. :tisk: Make sure you carefully read the README and INSTALL files after extracting and before compiling/installing. :study:

Hi,

Now that's a fast response! I am still having some bother. All the packages and links seem fine as follows:

Kernel 2.6.3-4mdk installed

Links seem fine

GCC installed ok.

Trying to build the src.rpm gives the previous problem so I tried to install from source as follows:

As you can see this also gives me an error, this is as per the Nvidia instructions for installing from source. This is a new install of Mandrake 10.0 and this is the first thing I have tried to build. I have not even rebuilt my kernel yet so I am wondering if something is broken in the system somewhere. It looks to me like there is a some problems with /lib/modules so I had a look:

The numbers match again.

Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Iain

Perhaps that driver is too old for your kernel. I think NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run is the latest.

I haven't played around with the 2.6 kernels, but I understand there are big changes. I know they integrated the sound differently, possibly the video drivers are dealt with differently.

Have you checked the nvidia drivers and kernel forums/mailing lists for ideas?

I grabbed the latest nforce driver from Nvidia earlier today. The nvidia forums are full of various conflicting bits of information which didn't help so that's why I came here and I've already got loads more help than over there! Thanks for that, I love this place.

To clarify it is the nforce chipset driver I am trying to install and not the graphics driver although that will be my next task!

I does look like something to do with the modules directory. Where the output I posted refers to //lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/build...I've checked this and build is a link as follows:


I am assuming that this should work ok? I'm wondering whether I should just shove my old sound card in and try this when Mandrake 10.0 had become a little more stable but I don't like to admit defeat ;)

I appreciate all the help.

Cheers

Iain

I am having the exact problem, does anyone know a solution?
So far I have disabled DRM and made a new kernel, but that doesn't work as well. I have a @linux that points to the kernel. This is very anoying, its been 2 weeks and no results

Same problem here with custom build 2.6.7 kernel under Red Hat linux with nforce3 based platform. Tried make those nforce drivers from NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0274.tar.gz file but same thing.

/lib/modules/2.6.7_a/build/include/asm/irq.h:16:25: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory

In my case /lib/modules/2.6.7_a/build is symbolic link to
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.7_a path
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.7_a/include/asm is symbolic link to
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.7_a/include/asm-i386

That directory contains irq.h file which tries to include irq_vectors.h file which unfortunately lies under
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.7_a/include/asm-i386/mach-default directory.

I would need help as well. What is wrong ? Wrong symbolic links or what ?

Well I got mine working and I didn't even need to install nforce drivers
If you are running madrake 10, nforce drivers are already installed
so I just compiled a new kernel without DRM, made sure that nforce was selected then when modprobe agpgart, modprobe nvidia_agp
installed drivers for ati and bing! it workeD
