Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 173.14.09-5 and others
Severity: normal
Hello,
when compiling a new kernel into an amd64 machine for the architecture i386 is
common to use a chroot to an i386 development environment,
in the nvidia-kernel-source package, some scripts detect the machine
architecture with the command "shell uname" of the main running kernel, and
therefore the compilation of the nvidia module is not successful,
with the little modifications attached in this message, the module compiles
correctly,
The key idea is that the variable ARCH is already defined by the main
procedure, that is, in make-kpkg or m-a.
that is tested to successful compile in the i386 environment, with make-kpkg
and module-assistant also,
#make-kpkg -us -uc --initrd --verbose --append-to-version -686-jp1
--added-modules
nvidia-kernel --added-patches debianlogo modules
#m-a -t build nvidia-kernel -k /usr/src/linux-2.6.26.5-686-jp1
Please use the attached patch,
Best Regards,
Jordi Pujol
