NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Controller on Redhat 9?

eXor · 08-05-2003, 06:54 AM

I've just installed Red Hat 9 on my computer.
I've got two problems:

1. My internal network card dosen't being recognized by Red hat. I've got an "NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Controller" (my moderborth is and Soltek 75FRN2-SL).

How can I fix this? I'm a newbie on Red Hat but not on linux. Running slack ware on my server non graphic.

2. I can't mount NTFS partions in redhat. I think I have to recompile my kernel but I don't know how.

Thx for helping!

You'll have to go to the nvidia site and download the drivers for Linux and install them (the nforce drivers).

after I have installed them what sould I do then. Have run the rpm but it dosen't work after that!

It dosen't look like it's installning. I can't find the module nvnet.

I have tried to unistall
rpm -e NVIDA_nforce

and then my grafic in the consol seems to not been working eider.

I ran the
rpm -i NVIDA_nforce*
again

But now eider the grafic in the consol or the network card works.

I have allso tried to compile the source by my self.
But that gives me just errors.

Plase Please help me!

Has anybody had any luck with this? I installed the RPM package I see 'nvnet' listed, but when I try to activate it, it says it can not be found?

Any luck with this would be greatly appreciated.

I fixed it!

First of al I installed the the latest kernel patch and also i installed kernel source. Kernel source was my problem. First I din't have that and it complained about almost everything when I tryed to install the nvidia drivers. But after I've installed it, it worked like a charm.

So first:
Install the newest kernel-pacth
Install the corsponding kernel-source
install the tar.gz file from nvidia

Good Luck!

I'm having the same problem as your first one; I'm trying to get that to work now.

As for the problem regarding NTFS, I suggest you go to http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/redhat9.html and get an RPM there (in my case I got the 2.4.20-8 athlon RPM). Note that it is only read-only, though.
