Hi, This doesn't seem to work for me. There is no .deb in /usr/src/modules/nvidia (or in any of the subdirectories). The error message from debian/rules binary_modules said *** Failed rivafb sanity check. Bailing out! ***
make[1]: *** [rivafb-sanity-check] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv' And (sorry to be so ignorant), but how do i do a good rm at every installation of a kernel-image? I used to roll my own kernels, but because this is amd64, i decided to try the stock kernel. Any suggestions are appreciated.
