-> 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: No)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this means
that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.

If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.

In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.

im using suse 8.2
after using YOU (online update) which upadated my kernel and install the source (aparntly)
the source is in /usr/src/linux (sym link)

uname -a
Linux linux 2.4.20-4GB-athlon #1 Wed Aug 6 18:27:52 UTC 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

and now i dont have 3d, so i tried to reinstlal the nvidia drivers but it fails (see above log)

thanks for any help. also wont let me install older version of kernel source from *rpm*.

*Download the NVidia installer for your card ( which in my case was NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run ).

*Open YaST2-> System-> Runlevel Editor. Once the module is loaded change the default runlevel from 5 to "3: Full multiuser with network." Click finish and restart your computer.

*When computer is restarted login as root and go to the directory containing the kernel sources ( /usr/src/linux ) and type "make cloneconfig && make dep."

*Once done, go to the directory containing the installer you downloaded and type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run" (change the installer name accordigly with the one you downloaded).

*The NVidia installer will start, accept the lisence aggrement and it will tell you that your kernel dont match(or something like that) and will ask if you want to build binaries for that kernel, say yes.

*If the installer built modules correctly, exit installer and type "sax," when it appears enable 3D for your card, test, save and exit SaX2.

*Now type "yast," and again go to System-> Runlevel Editor, and change the default runlevel from 3 to "5: Full multiuser with network and xdm." Again click finish and restart your computer.

Enjoy
