After installing nvidia drivers, nvidia.ko not found
I was attempting to get my OpenGL libraries working and reinstalled my nvidia drivers in the process by running the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.80-pkg1.run" script. Now when I boot up I am getting an error message
"nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.29.6-79.fc9.i686 was not found The nvidia driver will not be enabled" I don't know much about X or driver issues, could someone point me in the right direction? This is on a Thinkpad T61. |
Did you install a new version of the kernel after you installed the nvidia driver? I'm running the same driver, and I haven't seen this problem.

there is an updated kernel available. install the updated kernel and repeat the Nvidia installation process again. it will resolve your problem. further check out this thread;
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...for-f9-678566/ hope it will solve your problem. |
I tried installing the livna-release (no updates necessary) and akmod-nvidia, but they didn't help. To update the kernel do I use "yum install kernel"? If so than there were no updates available.
Something that I noticed: after running the install script and then starting X it appears to work fine, but if I switch to tty1 I am seeing Code:

Have you read this ?
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 Are there any actual errors in the Xorg log ? cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE |

There are warnings but no errors in the Xorg log, and they all have to do with my resolution, which is probably a separate issue. Any other suggestions? I appreciate everyone's help but I'm really not sure where to go from here :-( |
2.6.29 kernel.. does the nvidia module compile against that kernel and work ?
I am not finding any references of this driver being compiled against that new of a kernel, is it completing the compile and installation successfully ? Check /var/log/nvidia-installer.log Quote:
did you try to locate the file after compiling ? Quote:
