Howdy, I tried a while back to upgrade my kernel but nvidia didn't like it. Given I can do this a piece at a time, I thought I'd try again. Kernel compiled fine and when nvidia complained about missing options, I fixed those and recompiled the kernel. I finally got it happy as far as missing kernel options goes. Then it fails with this error.

Thing is, it's old. I may have to get a newer video card. If I can correct this error tho and it work when I reboot, it would be great. I don't think that driver version is in the tree anymore. It shows it is in my local overlay. Given the next version of driver doesn't work with this card, I may be stuck with current kernel version or buying a newer card. Do I need to switch to a different driver? Novau or something? Any thoughts? Ideas? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
