Hi there... again...
I have been trying to install the updated drivers for my nvidia graphics
card, and it seems there might be a conflict during the install... To
summarize what I did:
I run RH8 on a pentium III => kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 i686
Went to Nvidia website, downloaded an ran NVchooser app, to determine
what GLX rpm and kernel rpm to download => it told me to install
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm
Which I atempted to... It seemed to have troubles with multiples RH /
linux kernel present on my machine, which where not deleted after an
up2date or that where additional:
Here is what kernels I had in the boot loader when I first attempted to
install the drivers:
kernel-2.4.18-14 I think => i386
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 => i686
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0debug => i686
When I suspected the conflict was due to Xple kernels, I then removed
the kernel-2.4.18-14/i386. Then I tried to remove the
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0debug / i686 with [rpm --erase kernel] which
returned that there was no kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0debug installed...
I just ran [rpm -q kernel] and got the same result, only
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 => i686 is installed according to RH8... HOWEVER, I
still have the choice between kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 and
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0debug in the boot loader...
I am at a loss here, because I am not sure who/which is wrong: the boot
loader or the rpm database...
Also, could it be simply that the nvidia drivers dont support i686 for
the time beeing? I thought recompiling from the source should avoid this
pb...
HEEEEELLLLPPPP PLEEEEEEZE
