Hi. I'm new to p:d and in the process of setting it up on my i686-laptop. I also had problems with the rt-kernel and nvidia-source. Recently solved them by performing the following steps:
* dead symlink corrected (pointed to nonexisting asm-i386) # cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24.7-rt21-pure-686/include/ # ln -sf asm-x86 asm * symlinked missing headers (quick and dirty) # cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24.7-rt21-pure-686/include/ # ln -s asm-x86/mach-default/* . * patched nvidia-source (with 2 long commandlines) (taken from <http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=17035&start=60>) # sed -i '/__SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER/ s/__SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER/__COMPAT_SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER/' /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv-linux.h # sed -i '/struct semaphore/ s/struct semaphore/struct compat_semaphore/' /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv-linux.h * built kernel-module without unpacking (otherwise patches to nv-linux.h would be overwritten) # m-a -t --not-unpack build nvidia * and finally installed it # m-a -t install nvidia -frank krgn wrote: > hey pat, > > we've been chatting in the p:d channel earlier... something is wrong > with m-a and the header/source packages for this kernel. it can't find > certain headers.
