OMFG... *MasterC Slaps himself in the forehead...

Just read over the Release Notes (which I SOOOO should have waaaayyyyy back...) and here's what we are gonna do:

As root, download this file:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/n...0-0261.src.rpm

Make sure you are in the directory where you just downloaded it to and type this (as root):
rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm

When it's complete you'll see something similar to this (the location of the file might be different):
Wrote: /usr/src//RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rpm
So then you just need to change to the directory it writes that file to:
cd /usr/src/RPMS/i386

In the example above, and then type:
rpm -i NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rpm

And you are done....



Can you believe that? This does assume all those things work out without warnings...

Anyway, give that a go, I'll clarify anything I know I went a little fast here, just wanted to get it out to you soon.

Cool

If the above doesn't work, modules.conf is located in /etc, so to read it you would type:
less /etc/modules.conf

And it will open it up for reading.

Cool

after i type that what do i do?

dude is there a way to copy the msg and pase ie ctrl+c like in windows or do i have to type all that?

Yeah, you just highlight and then click with the middle button on the mouse. Highlighting something is the equivilent to pressing CTRL C Then pasting is done with the mouse, both buttons if there is no middle button (the scroll counts as a middle button).

Cool

unknown option --rebuild now what?

That's crazy. I just checked the man page, it's listed there for sure....

rpm --version

Post up what version you are using.

Cool

there isnt anything writen in lspci.output

RPM version 4.2
rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm
--rebuild: unknown option
gonna reboot and try again

Wow! That is sure, uh, different?

Let's edit a few things ok?

I'm gonna chop that up:
use all that instead

The comments (the # signs) mean to NOT use those.

So if you do decide to use that old device again, for whatever reason, all you have to do is comment (add the # sign) this line:
alias eth0 nvnet
And uncomment (remove the # sign) this line:
#alias eth0 8139too



Cool

Just checked RedHat's documenation, even found a book on RPM's, and here it is:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/books/max...uild-mode.html

I wish I could figure out why yours isn't responding to that function???

....

maybe i have to do in in the black one ie ctrl alt f2 instead of run ->xterm nope same thing unknow option
look its almost 3am im gonna call it a night lol hope u can think of something later

Maybe... It's definitely worth a shot as if we can get that to work it will by far be easier than anything we've started otherwise

Cool
