n00b kernel compile problems

Hi, I am having the same problem with my nvidia installation after my 2.6.12 kernel compile. The installation used to work on 2.4.26 and 2.4.29, but on this kernel I get the error of "NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter probed!" The driver builds properly and everything, but will not load. Any ideas?

Hi,
The problem with mine was that I had compiled rivafb as a module. When I recompiled the kernel, I took this out altogether then reinstalled the nvidia package and it all worked OK. I can't really remember, and I'm on vacation at the moment, so I don't have access to my .config file, but I think I took some care not to compile in anything for nvidia at all so that there was kind of clean slate for the nvidia package installation. No chance of module clashes.
Hope this helps, good luck
Cheers!
