I did it on the stock kernel without problems. I've later installed 2.4.4
from kernel sources, and it worked fine on that kernel as well.

AFAIK, the unresolved dependencies is caused when the kernel headers used
during the compile does not correspond to the installed kernel. I've simply
installed the kernel sources from the 2nd cd, and then compiled the NVidia
kernel module, and it worked fine.

Thanks I will try it but I'm fairly certain that your driver also will
miss tons of symbols because Rial:s and mine module both faild on the
second step:

insmod NVdriver


I can't try you driver until I'm at home, my computer isn't online jet...

so I can't be certain that your driver also will fail (hope not) but why
did I get all this "unresolved symbol"? Several of this symbols look like
they are primary symbols, the kernel would panic if they wheren't there.

Have you recompiled you kernel your self, I haven't?

Thanks Rial I got it. But it still don't work.

I got the Nvidia_kernel-0.9-769.i686.rpm from Rial that works fine for him
and don't work at all for me. I got the error you see below. And as you
can see it missing symbols to several primary symbols as kill_proc,
strncpy_from_user, create_proc_entry, etc, etc. The question is why?

I use the kernel that comes with LM8.0 (2.4.3-20) I have not recompiled
it. I have a dual P3 mashine and the driver is know to work on other
SMP mashines (Rial:s).

I also have smp; I just grabbed the src.rpm from their site, did a 'rpm
