i'm switching from the 2.4.20 vanilla source kernel to the 2.4.20r1 gentoo sources to to try out the low latency and i'm having a problem getting my nvidia driver (3123) re-installed.
when i booted into the new kernel i saw the expeted errors about the nvidia and alsa modules not being found.
i re-merged the nvidia kernel and glx but it got installed into /lib/modules/2.4.20/video instead of /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/video
so a modprobe NVdriver
what do i have to do to make this work?
i tried renaming the 2.4.20 folder and making a symlink called 2.4.20 that points to the 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 folder bu that caused errors as well. the module was installed but when i tried to load it with 'modprobe' i got an 'unresolved symbols' error (sorry i didnt write down the exact error but i can try it again if that will help).
Originally posted by nouse66 isn't that going to lead to the same thing i tried first? the symlink was just a guess after trying to install failed the first time.
