I'm running sid on an nforce2, with the k7-specific kernel. I am attempting to upgrade from 2.6.10 to 2.6.11. Every thing seems to work except for my nvidia driver.
I attempted to move away from the "old" installer downloadable from nvidia to the new method described here: http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html This technique fails. Essentially, I wind up with: FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-k7/nvidia/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) The relevant stuff from dmesg: nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_bind_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_enable nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_backend_acquire nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_free_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_allocate_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_unbind_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_copy_info nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_backend_release Falling back to the downloadable installer, I find that it also fails. The last part of the installer log shows: -> Kernel module load error: insmod: error inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module -> Kernel messages: nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_enable nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_backend_acquire nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_free_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_allocate_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_unbind_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_copy_info nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_backend_release nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_bind_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_enable nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_backend_acquire nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_free_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_allocate_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_unbind_memory nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_copy_info nvidia: Unknown symbol agp_backend_release ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. It seems that both methods of installation are having a similar problem. /usr/src/linux points to /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11-1-k7/. I had 7174 working on 2.6.10 for months, but now I don't seem to be able to fall back. I've fallen back to using the X "nv" driver and 2.6.11, which is slow for some things and OpenGL doesn't seem work. -- darin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Database Development and Administration "I am always willing to run some hazard of being tedious, in order to be sure that I am perspicuous" Adam Smith __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
