Hi gang. I'm having problems getting my nvidia drivers updated to work with the new kernel I just updated on my Suse 9.1 box. I d/l'd the lastest drivers from Nvidia's site, and it seems to compile just fine, except it locks up the computer within a second or two after completing the compile. It's a full lock, with no keyboard input, (though my caps lock and scroll lock lights start flashing at me), which forces me to do a hard boot to recover. But the process didn't complete, so I still don't have the new drivers.
If it helps, here's a run down of the method I'm following: 1. exit or boot to shell prompt (init 3) 2. cd into the directory containing the nvidia file. 3. enter the command: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run -q --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux NOTE: The above command has never completed properly (since updating the kernel), so I can't continue onto the sax2 step. 4. When the kernel compiles properly, the command sax2 -m 0=nvidia is supposed to set things up properly. The above process worked in the past, except I was using the file NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run. I did note that the kernel update was supposed to fix a problem with the nvidia drivers - maybe that's where the problem is coming from? Also, it seems I have kernel version 2.6.5 and I think the 7167 version of the nvidia drivers are meant to work with 2.6.10 or newer. Regardless running the 6111 nvidia drivers results in the same behavior - lock up after compile. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks bunches.
