Is this guide for kernel compilation accurate?
Hi there
I am going to install Fedora Core 2 at the weekend and since this doesnt work with nvidia drivers out of the box at present i am also going to take it as an opportunity to compile my own 2.6.6 kernel for the first time. :) I found a decent guide that prints off 1 page A4 and i just want to know if it should work.

Yeah, but I just copy over the default fedora config from /boot...
|
Thats the exact guide i used to build my 2.6.6 kernel and i have full accelerated nvidia graphics now: ;)
I wish someone would sticky these questions and solutions and just redirect everyone to that thread. There's been so many people asking this one question. [edit] The default fedora config contains the 4k stacks problem, dont use it or you wont be getting that driver working. |

thanks a lot! i'll tell you how i get on.
EDIT- I also think a sticky thread should be made giving users possible solutions for the nvidia problem until new drivers come out (whether it be a compiled kernel rpm or this guide) |
OH YES! That guide rocks! 2.6.6 kernel up and running perfectly with nvidia drivers first time! 3500fps in glxgears! I didnt need /rm linux because i didnt already have that directory. The kernel compiled in 1 hour only! ALL NVIDIA USERS DO THIS (if u aren't afraid lol).

Glad it worked out for you! And congrats on your first kernel compile!

thanks to the thread starter i have very fast fedora workstation now after a kernel compile. and of course to lupin the 3rd followed some of his tips regarding this.
you're great guys! |
:D I love this. I'm gonna install UT2004 and see how it compares to Windows. It ran slower on FC1 but I'm wondering how it will do now. It should be better than FC1, especially now I have a new kernel.

i dont spose someone could now tell me how to install the nforce drivers now:D
also does this only work with fedora or is it something built into the new kernels to make it simpler? |
