hey folks, i just tried to install the proprietary nvidia-drivers. installation went flawlessly but when i try `modprobe nvidia`, i get the following error:
wayne ~ # modprobe nvidia FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.16.9/video/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) wayne ~ # dmesg | tail -n 7 nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. nvidia: Unknown symbol remap_page_range nvidia: Unknown symbol pci_find_class nvidia: Unknown symbol remap_page_range nvidia: Unknown symbol pci_find_class nvidia: Unknown symbol remap_page_range nvidia: Unknown symbol pci_find_class wayne ~ # the funny thing is, a friend of mine told me, he tried this a few days ago on his gentoo-box with 2.6.15.something-gentoo-sources and - it didn't work. i have no clue what went wrong, since i did the same thing a few times already - without a hitch. regards, philipp -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
