Greetings:
Having just spent on my Deb 3.0 testing/unstable box
w/Nvidia, after I got too ambitious with an apt-get upgrade and hosed my

I specified gcc-2.95 in my kernel (2.4.21) Makefile, and changed the gcc
symlink to gcc-2.95 just for good measure. The gcc-3.3 was giv

The nvidia install script has its own ideas about which compiler it is
using.
Are there any other names for the compiler except gcc?
I have searched my box for gcc and cc and all I get is /usr/bin/gcc.
Nothing else.

My problem, according to the nvidia install script, is that I used a
different compiler to make the kernel than I was using to compile the
kernel module for the driver.
I compiled this kernel about two years ago and since then I tried to
update glibc (never again) and I suspect I updated the com

If you didn't change anything, then how would the original problem be
resolved?? Does your kernel have any AGP support?

Folks,
I managed to get 2.6.0test2 kernel compiled and installed unfortunately
my old kernel uses *.o.gz modules and the new modutils won't insert them
