I can see that it is compiling against the my /usr/src/linux, which is my original kernel, is it supposed to compile against the original, or against my new kernel? Does this have something to do with the error? Let me know what other info you need.
I pointed my /usr/src/linux symlink to /usr/local/src/linux-2.6.35.3 directory. This time when I ran the nVidia installer, this is the error I got:
Quote:
If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on you system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivilent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel header) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivilent nvidia-installer command line option.
I am still getting the same error message as above, but I fixed something that was causing a problem. I originally compiled my kernel source in my home directory, then I moved it to /usr/local/src, but /lib/modules/2.6.35.3/build and /lib/modules/2.6.35.3/source were still pointing to my home directory, so I moved my kernel src to /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.3 and updated the build and source symlinks.
Also when trying to install the new nVidia driver, I first did:
Code:
export SYSSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.35.3/source
I am still getting the same error message as my above post. Any suggestions, obviously I am missing something that I need to do to install the nVidia driver after a new kernel install.
This one is my fault, there was a kernel module that I forgot to include during my kernel configuration for my nvidia chipset. Once I configured this, and recompiled my 2.6.35.3 kernel, I was able to install the nvidia driver in 2.6.35.3. But now my 2.6.33.4 video does not work. Is there a way that I can get my nvidia stuff to work in both of my kernels? I want to test the new kernel out, but not move to it yet.
Here is what I found out. When the nvidia installer is run, even for a different kernel, it uninstalls the module on all other kernels. Here is the workaround. Boot into the new kernel:
Code:
sh ./NVIDIA-INSTALLER.run -x #do not install, extract only
cd NVIDIA-INSTALLER/kernel
export SYSSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.35.3/source
make module
make install
This will install the nvidia driver in your new kernel, but not remove it from the old.
