Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 1.0.9746-2
Severity: normal
Well, I am tracking experimental at the moment. I have
linux-image-2.6.20-1-k7 2.6.20-1~experimental.1~snapshot.8305
linux-kbuild-2.6.20 2.6.20~rc6-1~experimental.1~snapshot.8221
linux-headers-2.6.20-1-k7 2.6.20-1~experimental.1~snapshot.8305
At this point, using module-assistant to build nvidia-kernel or
"make module" in the "nv" dir, I get the following fatal problem:
make -f /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-1-k7/scripts/Makefile.modpost
scripts/mod/modpost -m -i /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-1-k7/Module.symvers
-I /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/Module.symvers -o
/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/Module.symvers -w
/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nvidia.o
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol
'paravirt_ops'
make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
make: *** [module] Error 2
The setup will not compile. The nv module works for now. Not a big deal.
