Package: linux-headers-2.6.20-1-686 Version: 2.6.20-3 Severity: important The headers package is completely useless:
1) nvidia drivers do not work, tried: build: module-assistant a-i nvidia-kernel tried installing with "modprobe nvidia", but it refuses to load. dmesg says module refuses to load because the module disagrees on kernel structures. 2) vmware-config.pl fails with the following: Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel: insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory. I checked Google and such problems usually appear when a different version of gcc is used to compile the kernel and the driver. However this is not the case, as: # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.20-1-686 (Debian 2.6.20-3) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 21:52:11 UTC 2007 # gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) Then I took linux-2.6.20.7 from kernel.org, minimized fieatures in .config and compiled it with make-kpkg and everything works with my generated image and headers. So what went wrong with Debian kernel releases? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=lt_LT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=lt_LT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages linux-headers-2.6.20-1-686 depends on: ii gcc-4.1 4.1.1-21 The GNU C compiler ii linux-headers-2.6.20-1 2.6.20-3 Common header files for Linux 2.6. ii linux-kbuild-2.6.20 2.6.20-1 Kbuild infrastructure for Linux 2. linux-headers-2.6.20-1-686 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
