That problem has been solved. As per someone else's suggestion in this thread, a simple modprobe nvidia installed the drivers without having to run the nVidia installer. After that, I added nvidia to /etc/modules, and now the drivers load automatically.
So that is one task down, a buttload more to go. Next on the list is getting the TV Tuner working properly, and then getting the on-board 3Com NIC working so I can access the rest of my network here at home.
thanks for sharing the solution. I have the same problem and enabling
the nvidia module in modconf menu solves it. Excellent indeed!
I'm pleased to be able to contribute to the community in someway at least. :D
One of the most frustrating things with Google or other searches is finding many posts describing the same problem, but all of the posts going unanswered. So that is why I am trying to get into the habit of posting my solutions here when a problem gets resolved. That way, the next time someone is having a similar problem, they _should_ be able to find the answer with a Google search.
Oh, and getting the second on-board NIC working was real simple too. All I had to do was add it manually to /etc/network/interfaces, then issue the command networking restart.
Since I couldn't quite remember the format for a static entry, I cheated a bit and booted up one of my project systems, an old 48MB P-Pro 200 running Damn Small Linux (it is eventually going to be sold as a low-end Linux workstation once I finish a few tweaks). A simple cat /etc/network/interfaces showed me all the info I needed to plug in here. Now to get Samba installed.
