Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] failed to load nvidia kernel module
It's kernel related. 2.6.13 doesn't create the nvidia devicess correctly
with udev, which with 2.6.13 is default. You can try to put this in the
local.start if you want to use this nvidia kernel versions:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
node="/dev/nvidia$i"
rm -f $node
mknod $node c 195 $i || echo "mknod \"$node\""
chmod 0660 $node || echo "chmod \"$node\""
chown :video $node || echo "chown \"$node\""
done
node="/dev/nvidiactl"
rm -f $node
mknod $node c 195 255 || echo "mknod \"$node\""
chmod 0666 $node || echo "chmod \"$node\""
chown :video $node || echo "chown \"$node\""
Hope it helps!
*******************************************************************************
I thought that was what I remembered. Although....if it's the 2.6.13 gentoo
kernel that's responsible for creating the necessary nodes, why do the
unstable/masked versions of nvidia-kernel work correctly under a 2.6.13 kernel
without any "helper" scripts?
