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: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.

on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at

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.
