Attempting to get NVIDIA_kernel .94 and NVIDIA_GLX .94 running under 6.9
(something that *many* will want to do):
Problem
-------
kernel-headers-2.4.0-0.16 causes the build of the kernel module to die
horrifically (and, even it it happened to work it would produce an NVIDIA
module incapable of functioning). Solution, remove kernel-headers?
rpm -e kernel-headers
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
kernel-headers is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
kernel-headers is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
kernel-headers is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
kernel-headers is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.91-18
So, I'll just do it by hand:
cd /usr/include
rm -f linux asm
ln -s ../src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux
ln -s ../src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm
The 2.2.16 sources are from the kernel-sources module in 6.9.
Then build the NV_kernel module, which compiles just fine. Now, I need to
install the kernel module:
# /sbin/insmod NVdriver
Using /lib/modules/2.2.16/video/NVdriver
/lib/modules/2.2.16/video/NVdriver: kernel-module version mismatch
/lib/modules/2.2.16/video/NVdriver was compiled for kernel version 2.2.16-17
while this kernel is version 2.2.16.
Huh? Okay, well I'll just go into modversion_u.h and change it to
2.2.16; it fails on symbols now; argh.
Solution
--------
(is there one?)
