Re: [gentoo-user] failed to load nvidia kernel module

2005-10-31 Thread Joshua Schmidlkofer 
BTW: 99% of the time, this has nothing to do with devfs, udev, or the
kernel.  When it says 'module failed to load' it's because the x
is missing the driver file.

i.e.

/usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
/usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o

yes this was the very problem with me too. trying other versions of the driver 
didn't work, but running /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh solved the problem, and 
having added 
 if [ ! -e /dev/nvidia0 ]; then
  /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh

Indeed, the comments in the bug report from b.g.o could've explained
it. I had RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes".

And from the comments, a few ways to possibly fix the problem:
a) set RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes", then run /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh once.
or b) add

if [ ! -e /dev/nvidia0 ]; then
  /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh
fi

to your /etc/conf.d/local.start

Strange. I tried 7174 and down without success. Every time i had to use 
the script showed. I have to use 7667 or above with 2.6.13 in order to 
have nodes working correctly. It may also depend on xorg version.

It's kernel related. 2.6.13 doesn't create the nvidia devicess correctly

I thought that was what I remembered. Althoughif it's the 2.6.13 gentoo 
kernel that's responsible for creating the necessary nodes, why do the 
unstable/masked versions of nvidia-kernel work correctly under a 2.6.13 kernel 
without any "helper" scripts?

And after that, I reverted to the stable version of nvidia-kernel, and

Strange...

I think it's also kernel version related, as I had no problems using the stable 
version of the nvidia kernel with the 2.6.12 gentoo kernel, but then I did a 
completely fresh install and got a 2.6.13 kernel which exibited the described

Hmmm, I'm running nvidia-kernel 6629-r4 and nvidia-glx 6629-r6 on a
amd64 system without any problems.

I don't have the specific versions that were failing for me, as I'm not at home 
right now, but as I mentioned there was a thread on this recently, here are 
some quotes from that thread:

OP:

I can't find out what I'm doing wrong. I have a nvidia card (GeForce FX
5200) and I managed to launch the X server with the nv driver. When I
try to use the nvidia driver, the server aborts, complaining about not
finding a usable screen section.



The following file is the one that works (with nv). To try nvidia, I
made two changes: Load "glx" (instead of dri) and nvidia (as driver)
instead of nv. Something is missing... (Didn't change identifiers and
such.)


I emerged nvidia/kernel and nvidia-glx for good measure, issued "modprobe 
nvidia",
modules-update, openglx-update nvidia...
Kernel is 2.6.13-gentoo-r3.

The last lines of /var/log/Xorg.0.log :

[29] 0 0 0x03c0 - 0x03df (0x20) IS[B]
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xE000
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xFD00
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found


Followup by OP:
It seems it's a known bug. I emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx with
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and it works now.


Comment from list member:

One thing to check is do you have any /dev/nv* devices? There was a
thread in the forums on this which has a script for recreating them and
another thread on this list in which I posted it.


Reply by OP:

That was it. I found the thread, that's why I emerged the masked
versions of the driver (see my reply to myself).
BTW: the suggestion to put the script in /etc/conf.d/local.start seems
somewhat strange: doesn't /etc/init.d/local get executed after all other
scripts in the default runlevel? Doesn't this mean that the script would
be started _after_ the X server?

***

Maybe this isn't the problem in this specific case, I don't know, but it's 
possible that it is. I don't remember whether or not the OP in this case 
specified whether or not the configuration was working with the default nv 
driver or not, that should be the first step in troubleshooting this. Once the 
nv driver works with the configuration, if the nvidia driver does not, that's a 
resonable indication that there is something wrong with the nvidia module.

Bob Young

Hmmm, I'm running nvidia-kernel 6629-r4 and nvidia-glx 6629-r6 on a
amd64 system without any problems.

hi to all. i am finalizing a fresh new gentoo installation. i'm having some
problems with xorg and my nvidia geforce mx 440 card. i followed the
instructions on the dedicated part of documentation on gentoo.org, and even
tried the following commands as proposed by gentoo-wiki.com but i allways
get
the same error

#emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
#opengl-update nvidia
#modprobe nvidia
#X -configure
#X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

but i allways get this (from /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

portage installed me diffferent versions of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel
(1.0.6629-r6 and 1.0.6629-r4) should i install the same version? are there
newer versions available, or are these known not to work? right now i'm
using
the nv driver, and i have everything i need (kde) working, though i'd like
to
set up my nvidia card to its full capabilities
thanks
I'm ran into the exact same problem on a newly installed dual Opteron system
yesterday. Basically it's a broken nvidia ebuild. There was a thread on this
forum about this exact issue a couple of weeks ago. The "solution" is to
emerge the masked versions of the nvidia-kernel. To see what versions are
available you can:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"  emerge -sv nvidia
Then umask the specific version of the packages you want to use:
#echo '=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676 ~x86'
>>/etc/portage/package.keywords
#echo '=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r1 ~x86'
>>/etc/portage/package.keywords

Assuming your running x86 of course, otherwise replace "~x86" with the
appropiate value for your arch.
HTH,
Bob Young
