Hi. I just bought a new PC, a DualCore 2.2GHz, with an Nvidia 8600 GT graphic card (which is for the moment a 7300LE, because the 8600 was not available at the time I purchased the PC), and a PT890 motherboard.
I installed the last SVN version of LFS, everything working fine. I then installed the base of BLFS upto X, still fine. But when I tried to install the last Nvidia kernel, I had this problem while launching X : NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Function not implemented) I think I saw the driver work for a Mandriva, so this must be me missing some obvious point, but Googling the error message didn't work out as well as I would have thought. When I look at dmesg after loading the nvidia driver, I see this : NVRM: request_irq() failed (-38) What can I do to solve my problem ? Is it a BIOS problem, a driver problem... Thanks for any help. \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.
