Hi Hall,

Thanks for your advice.

At 12:07 PM 11/18/2003, you wrote:

# make clean dep
# make bzImage modules
# make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-gentoo-r8

I suppose "arch/i386/boot/bzImage" will be created after "make modules_install"


No, "make bzImage" actually creates that file. The instructions have seemingly always been written this way and they've stuck. It's not really important either way.

Noted with thanks


# cd /lib/modules
# touch 2.4.20-gentoo-r7/video/nvidia.o
(should be enough to protect r7's nvidia modules, but it would be better to
# emerge nvidia-kernel


What is nvidia-kernel?

3. optional: if you use nvidia-kernel


Do you use an nVidia video card ?? If not, disregard that step. If you do, here's a very brief description: http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r4. You may also want nvidia-glx too. Read about it here, http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?nvidia-glx-1.0.4496-r1. They simply provide optimized performance of your video card under X-Windows.

I am running Maxi Gamer Phoenix card (featuring Voodoo Banshee, 2D/3D Graphics Card, 16MB memory). I am not quite sure whether it is a nVidia video card. How to check it?


Thanks in advance.
