Hi folks, perhaps someone can shed some light on this problem? nvidia driver fails to load. In dmesg I find this:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64 NVRM: The IO regions for your NVIDIA card are invalid. NVRM: Your system BIOS may have misconfigured your graphics card. NVRM: bar1 (framebuffer) appears to be wrong: 0x0 0x0 ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled nvidia: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -1 NVRM: the NVIDIA probe routine was not called for 1 device(s)!! NVRM: no devices probed, aborting! NVRM: this often occurs when rivafb is loaded and claims the device's resources. NVRM: try removing the rivafb module (or reconfiguring your kernel to remove NVRM: rivafb support) and then try loading the NVIDIA kernel module again. Now, this is an NVidia GeForce 6600 PCI-X card on an Intel SE7525RP2 motherboard with 1GB ram. Kernel 2.6.15 gentoo sources r1, nvidia drivers nvidia-kernel 1.0.6629-r5 and nvidia-glx 1.0.6629-r6. According to what little I've found on the web, there seems to be something weird with bios? I've tried cmos clear, and restarting with all cards unplugged, but I can't get it to work. Some sites suggested there might be some bios settings left if the pci-x had been plugged in before the ram expansion, which was the case here. Any suggestions?
