My system is a PIII, with woody 3.0_r0. I am installing the nvidia kernel driver for a M64 card. It went like this:
Installed the stock kernel-image-2.4.18-i686 debian package, with dselect. Installed and unpacked kernel-source-2.4.18, with dselect and tar. Downloaded and unpacked nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-glx-source, with apt-get and tar. Built nvidia-kernel-source the Debian Way: (in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 ) make oldconfig kpkg-make modules cd .. dpkg -i really-long-name-for-nvidia-kernel.deb reboot. The module failed to load when X started. I troubleshot the problem, and discovered that the module was installed in /lib/modules/2.4.18 vice /lib/modules/2.4.18-i686. Therefore, the kernel module loader cannot find it. I've read a lot about hand-installing the modules, and hand editing the configuration files and scripts, but I would much rather fix this the Debian Way. My questions are: How can I safely move the module into my actual kernel modules directory, and how can I prevent this problem for future module installs? Thanks, Jonathan P.S.
