Well, I upgraded, which installed a newer version of the nvidia drivers (313-30). So I gave them a spin on 3.8-1. Booted up on it, and did a dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms.
It built fine, but at the end, a message popped up saying nvidia: Running module version sanity check. Error! Module version 313.30 for nvidia.ko is not newer than what is already found in kernel 3.8-1-amd64 (313.30). You may override bhy specofying --force. And when I try to insert the module, I get: # modprobe nvidia [ 229.364270] Module len 8728526 truncated ERROR: could not insert nvidia: Exec format error Any ideas? --b On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 11:14 AM, Brad Alexander <stor...@gmail.com> wrote: > In my case, possibly my upgrades from experimental.
