This time I was just going to use your kernel instead of building my own, but I have to install the nVidia binary drivers also, so I need the kernel-source installed. I didn't realize at first that the kernel source for the win4lin kernel is the same as the kernel-source for the stock mdk kernel. In the past, I patched and built a kernel and then installed the nVidia drivers and have never had any problems with module dependencies. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx

In the past, I patched and built a kernel and then installed the nVidia drivers and have never had any problems with module dependencies. Actually, it's really only an issue when installing kernel modules via rpm: $ rpm -q --scripts NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.22-9mdk postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-2.4.22-9mdk 2.4.22-9mdk ||: insmod nvidia 2/dev/null /dev/null || : postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-2.4.22-9mdk 2.4.22-9mdk ||: rmmod nvidia 2/dev/null The normal System.map doesn't know some things about the win4lin kernel modules. If you manually run depmod when booted on the win4lin kernel, it should be ok. But it does mean that installing other modules via rpm is not as easy as it should be ...
