You will need to change the VERSION from 177.82 to 180.29 in the nvidia-driver.Slackbuild AND the nvidia-kernel.Slackbuild scripts when building from NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run.
Try rebuilding and reinstalling the nvidia-kernel package again using the manual method rather than sbopkg. That error message indicates that the kernel-driver package has been built and installed successfully, but the nvidia-kernel package is showing the older version number.
Also, just for the record, the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.11-pkg1.run can be built for use with the 2.6.28.8 kernel in slackware-current, by changing the VERSION to 96.43.11 in both the nvidia-driver.Slackbuild and the nvidia-kernel.Slackbuild scripts as well as commenting out lines 82-85 in nvidia-driver.Slackbuild. I used the scripts in the Slackbuilds for NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1.run for this. The commented out lines accessed usr/include/cuda, which is not present in 96.43.11
Oops, just checked, the latest is now for NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run at SlackBuilds.org, so the line numbers have changed.
Gees Heinz, that kernel update has been out for 3 days! A man could get to grow a stubble in that time.:-) Maybe you could fix it by the time I get around to shaving?
PS - Thanks again for all your work. Much appreciated!
