I looked through mz 2.4.22 directories to see if the file existed for that version, and it doesn't, so I can't copy it over. I tried 2.6.1 before I thought perhaps 2.6.2 might fix the problem. If anyoune can help, it'd be greatly appreciated.
go to that link above, and scroll to post 4 in that thread ...
download and install them drivers ...
i had the exact same problem, and these worked like a charm ...
BUT, before you go ahead with that, check and see if you compiled that option into your kernel that is also specified in that thread ..
2. CC="gcc32" sh <NV driver.run> --add-this-kernel
(this will create the package based on your kernel). Now do
3. CC="gcc32" sh <NV driver-custom.run>
(it should install the driver, but I'm not 100% sure it will heh)
If you are, I tried the --add-this-kernel (Don't really know what to do with that command, if it's for --add * or what, I don't believe --add was a working flag, and I tried changing the paths to the kernels, but that didn't work)
I flipped through that thread, and now I'm reconfiguring my kernel with Y for module versioning. I really hope this solves the problem, because if it doesn't, I don't know what I'll end up doing.
Oh, I'm trying to use *blah*1.run if that helps at all....
Okay, I did the second part for minion since I didn't install the drivers before, and here's my log:

-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.

Is there some nvidia driver that I'm supposed to install when I configure my kernel or what? I found one for apg, perhaps I'll try that. If anyone could shed some light, I'd be very happy.
