[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers fail to determine kernel version
Hi, when using vanilla kernel 3.7.5 (appropiate kernel headers installed) emergeing nvidia-drivers 313.18 works fine. As soon vanilla kernel 3.7.6 are installed the emerge process fails because the kernel version couldnt be determined. Both times /usr/src/linux symlinks to the according kernel sources. What did I wrong? How can I fix that? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc
Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers fail to determine kernel version
Note sure it's something wrong that you did, but that sure is strange... It usually happens when switching from 3.x to 3.y kernel version... When you're trying to emerge nvidia-drivers, are you running the recently compiled kernel? 2013/2/5 meino.cra...@gmx.de Hi, when using vanilla kernel 3.7.5 (appropiate kernel headers installed) emergeing nvidia-drivers 313.18 works fine.

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers fail to determine kernel version
Hi Alexandre, thanks for your reply! :) Both kernels were compiled the same way prior to emergeing the nvidia-drivers. In both cases the symlink /usr/src/linux points to the correct kernel sources... I also to booted into the kernel for which I want to emerge the drivers which doesnt make a difference... What else may be the reason for that?

Hi, It could be because it's hard coded in the nvidia sh script... It used to be like that, don't know if it's still the case...
