recompiling kernel and nvidia drivers

hi people,

i installed 12.2 and then compiled 2.6.30.1 kernel. it seemed to go ok and now i'm trying to rebuild the nvidia-kernel package from sbo, but the nvidia installer cannot find the new kernel modules.

i'm getting this sort of messages

Code:
echo "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";               \
echo "         include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";      \
echo "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";  \
any ideas on what i can do?

To start with, you realise you cannot recompile a binary driver?
But it sounds like you have not installed the kernel development packages - these contain the header files.

but i did build the nvidia-kernel package on the 2.6.27.7 stock kernel with no problems... it's only the new kernel that i cannot build it agaist./var/log/packages/kernel-firmware-2.6.27.7-noarch-1

Code:
$ ls /var/log/packages/*kernel*

Slackware does not split its packages into normal and -devel packages.

zoran119 its sounds like a problem with your kernel source.
Did you install your new kernel source in /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.1 and compile it from there?

Also I am not sure but the Nvidia driver may need the /usr/src/linux
symlink to point to the kernel source you want to build against also

I get that message too. I dont remember if it happened earlier since its been a while i hadnt recompiled the nvidia driver,
but the bottom line is the nvidia-kernel module works fine.
Just ignore the messages.

Missing headers means exactly that. In other distros, the headers are in a seperate package so it's quite common that the package is not installed. In your case, have you verified the existence of the headers?

Sakho suggests that the compilation is fine anyway, and it is safe to ignore the errors you report.

Since your build environment looks good, and Sakho is incorrect in your case, you should try the suggestion in the error message:

make oldconfig && make prepare

This error pops up when the nVidia installer can not find the correct .config file for your running kernel.

Check that /usr/src/linux does not have a different .config file than the one used to compile your kernel, and /boot/config is either your kernel .config file, or a symlink to it. Not sure if that last step is 100% necessary.

Also make sure you are actually running the newly compiled kernel There's been some late nights that lasted far too long, simply because I forgot to run/update lilo

ok... i checked your suggestions, recompiled the kernel again (with make prepare as nvidia suggests) and still no go...

can anyone see anyting wrong here... i did boot into the new kernel (checked with uname -r) when i was trying to build nvidia package.

thanks all

I remember reading about some headers being pulled from kernel after last 2.6.28.x*. That was the case when I tried compiling Catalyst for 2.6.29... Any relation?

*sorry, don't remember the exact version.

zoran119,
So long as I can see what you get is not an error message, but simply output from the compilation. See it is quotes ...

It looks as if that version of the nvidia driver will not build on 2.6.30+
I found this blurb on the interweb. I have no idea if the fix works.

Code:
According to lkml.org [1] proc_dir_entry::owner field was removed in
2.6.30, so for now you can fix it by simply removing or commenting all
the lines using proc_dir_entry::owner in nv.c.
