Greetings. It appears that I don't have an nvidia kernel module for the latest kernel for f17. Please see the appended for some details about my system.
The system boots fine into run-level 3 with the latest kernel, but it hangs "forever" when I try to boot into run-level 5. Fortunately, the system also boots fine into run-level 5 with the penultimate kernel, which I'm using at the moment. I installed the *kmod-nvidia stuff shortly after f17 appeared, and I've been happily sleep-walking through kernel updates ever since. Now I've been rudely awakened. I've rebooted the system several times, on the theory that one of the *kmod packages would "notice" the version mismatch and compile a new module. That hasn't happened so far. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Any comments? Thanks. -- Mike # cat /proc/version Linux version 3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 (mockbu...@bkernel01.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.7.2 20120921 (Red Hat 4.7.2-2) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Jan 8 21:40:51 UTC 2013 # /sbin/lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] (rev a1) # rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-304.64-3.fc17.x86_64 nvidia-xconfig-1.0-20.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-304.64-3.fc17.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-3.6.11-1.fc17.x86_64-304.64-1.fc17.6.x86_64 nvidia-settings-1.0-22.fc17.x86_64 akmod-nvidia-304.64-1.fc17.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64-304.64-1.fc17.7.x86_64 latest installed kernel = vmlinuz-3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 kernel currently in use = vmlinuz-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
