-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, here's how to solve the problem:
Problem: nvidia moudule does not work with kernel 2.6.9 Solution: Edit /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/mm/init.c After the line containing VMALLOC_RESERVE, add the following line: EXPORT_SYMBOL(__VMALLOC_RESERVE); Recompile the kernel and reboot... works like a charm!
