How exactly do they fail to boot, at what point?
I know the nvidia module fails to build for 3.0.0-rc1 as changes there
are needed, but every other vanilla kernel up to 2.6.39-git17 builds.
At 2.6.39-git you need the nvidia conftest.sh patch or simply insert
"-O2" as shown below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, you can make this change in the driver's conftest.sh script:
@@ -76,7 +76,7 @@
}
build_cflags() {
- BASE_CFLAGS="-D__KERNEL__ \
+ BASE_CFLAGS="-O2 -D__KERNEL__ \
-DKBUILD_BASENAME=\"#conftest$$\" -DKBUILD_MODNAME=\"#conftest$$\" \
-nostdinc -isystem $ISYSTEM"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All up to and including 3.0.0-rc1 builds and boots, no nvidia driver yet
for 3.0 of course.

Sid.

Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
