Thank you for answer. By looking around in yast2 package manager I determined that kernel-rt is at version 2.6.22.5-31. My current kernel is version 2.6.22.9-0.4. The current symlink points to 2.6.22.9-0.4. Changing this to linux-2.6.22.5-31-obj (with ln -sfn linux-2.6.22.5-31-obj) should solve the Nvidia driver issue. Is there an easy way to manage kernel symlinks in openSUSE? ls -l linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-10-14 20:49 linux -> linux-2.6.22.9-0.4 /usr/src> ls linux linux-2.6.22.9-0.4 linux-obj linux-2.6.22.5-31-obj linux-2.6.22.9-0.4-obj packages -- Regards, Aniruddha Please adhere to the OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
