Ok after some googling I found these instructions.
For kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp you need the stripped kernel source, don't
do anything to it. This is an nvidia installer problem.
Now in a term as root run the installer like this
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --x
This will extract the installer files into a directory.
Now with your favorite editor go to /usr/src/nv.c
In this file go to line 3697 and change PM_SAVE_STATE to PM_SUSPEND_MEM
Then get into run level 3 and go to the directory where the nvidia
installer was extracted and run as root ./nvidia-installer
--kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-10mdk
This will install the drivers.
Now this is important, before you get back into run level 5 edit the
file /etc/modprobe.preload and add "nvidia" on a line by itself, save
the file then boot back into run level 5 and enjoy.
Hope this can help someone.
Regards,
Dan Gordon
