Hello, I just rebuilt my kernel to the new 2.4.20 kernel, and am experiencing the same issue as this user. I have rebooted in 2.4:
root@superfluous /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs_pre6 # uname -r 2.4.20-xfs_pre6 I have removed and rebuilt the nvidia-kernel 1.0.3123-r2, and also tried 1.0.4191-r1. Poking around, I noticed that the ebuild's for the nvidia-kernel package have several references to "uname -r", which should correctly fill in my kernel. Could the information be cached somewhere and be pulling the values from the first time I built the package? Thanks All. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Ruskin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 12:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] no X after building new kernel On Monday 17 Feb 2003 18:11, Ernie Schroder wrote: > > cd /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs_pre6/video > > no such directory hmmm Can I link from old, working kernel, or copy the > /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/video to the xfs kernel? > (nvidia.0 only appears in /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/video) > note that nvidia drivers work fine with the exception of AGP with the > gentoo-sources kernel If you don't have /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs_pre6 the new kernel's `make modules_install` failed. If you do have /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs_pre6 but not the video directory, the `emerge nvidia-kernel` failed (or you haven't booted the new kernel) -- what does `uname -r` say? The nvidia.o belongs to the running kernel; you can't copy from another kernel's modules. It looks as if you've built the kernel but not booted into it. Look at the remarks at the end of the build-kernel script I sent. Peter -- Gentoo-1.4.2.8 Stable. KDE: 3.1.0 Qt: 3.1.0 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+ 512MB. Kernel: 2.4.20-xfs_pre6.
