nVidia GeForce 8600M GS driver problem
I finish with compilation of kernel 2.6.24.3 and try to install drivers for nVidia GeForce 8600M GS. I use NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.09-pkg1.run:

Error. ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. If I boot with the new kernel and run "./nvidia-installer" without parameters I receive error that tell something like kernel source does not match your kernel. I try to run: "./nvidia-installer -K --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.24.3" log file of the execution is the same as the upper one. Please tell me what is wrong here, because I can not understand it. P.S. If you need additional information to help me please write. |
You need to point the installer to the location of your kernel-source files, those source files must match the kernel version you are currently running.
|
If you are installing for the kernel you are running you don't need the '-K -k 2.6.24.3' part.
What does uname -a and ls /usr/src/linux* say? uname -a Linux kaiser 2.6.24-1-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 11 13:47:43 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux ls /usr/src/linux* /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-1-amd64: arch drivers init lib Module.symvers scripts usr block fs ipc Makefile net security crypto include kernel mm samples sound /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-1-common: arch crypto fs init kernel Makefile net security usr block drivers include ipc lib mm samples sound /usr/src/linux-kbuild-2.6.24: scripts Your output might be different - the important part is that in uname -a the kernel version is '2.6.24-1-amd64' and in /usr/src/linux is the same version. |
I think you should download the latest nvidia-driver, at least version 169.09. I had the same problem with a quadro fx 1600m and a 2.6.24 kernel.
|
I download and install latest drivers from nVidia site. Everything is OK now. May be the problem was that main drivers was old.
Thanks for your help. |
