First off you are using the NVidia drivers from NVIDIA, so you [if you haven't] you will need to reinstall the NVidia X drivers. Second, you will have to make sure that you have installed the kernel-sources rpm, this should be the correct sources for your running RH kernel. [if you haven't] then in the NVidia kernel module dir, run a 'make clean', then a 'make'. These are the steps I took when I upgraded from 7.3 to 8.0, and i had no problems.
Actually - I use an XFS kernel, and it's custom, so I ended up rebuilding my kernel, then remaking the NVidia driver. It pencil's out about the same, but if you still have problems you might look in /usr/src/linux/Makefile for what CC Redhat is using. They used to use kgcc [from the RPM compat-gcc], to build the kernel. If they still do you will need to update the NVidia drivers Makefile. -OR- pay attention because the NVIDIA drivers may be being compiled with 'kgcc', and the real kernel is built w/ gcc, so in that case you would need to tell the NVidia drivers to use 'gcc' instead of 'kgcc'. I would like to give you a much more precise answer, but I have been using XFS w/ my own kernels for so long, I don't remember anymore. js On Tue, 2002-11-12 at 14:15, Nick Wilson wrote: > HI all, > > Just upgraded from 7.3 to 8.0 > X won't start so I went and re 'make'ed the nvidia kernel. > > It's telling me that the nvidia kernel was made with gcc2 compiler but > the kernel I'm running was made with version 3. > > Any clues as to what to do? > > Many thanks.... > -- > Nick Wilson // www.tioka.com > > > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
