Hello list,

2.6.24.7-rt21-pure-686 kernel, and I trying to follow the instructions
below find out on the pure:dyne mailing list:

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

The nvidia-kernel module has been compiled without errors, but after
installing it and rebooting at the log time I get a black screen...
and the system freeze...
Someone has successfully completed the nvidia driver with this kernel?
Or someone has some suggestions to give me?
Thanks
Fabio
