There's no way the nvidia driver would have caused a crash if you couldn't even build the module. So, you must that the installer exited with an error. Did you boot into the new kernel before running the nvidia installer? It can't use kernel headers that are already gone. > I was wondering if it was down to version number mismatch, should the > source and binary kernel version numbers match?

Are you running the xen kernel? Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
