Re: [gentoo-user] failed to load nvidia kernel module
BTW: 99% of the time, this has nothing to do with devfs, udev, or the kernel. When it says 'module failed to load' it's because the x is missing the driver file. i.e. /usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so /usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o On 10/30/05, renna bud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thursday 27 October 2005 22:12, Qian Qiao wrote: On 10/27/05, Bob Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Original Message- From: Qian Qiao [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 2:20 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] failed to load nvidia kernel module I doubt it's kernel related, I'm on a amd64 with 2.6.13-r3 here.

Basically it's a broken nvidia ebuild. There was a thread on this forum about this exact issue a couple of weeks ago. The solution is to emerge the masked versions of the nvidia-kernel. To see what versions are available you can: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -sv nvidia Then umask the specific version of the packages you want to use: #echo '=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676 ~x86' /etc/portage/package.keywords #echo '=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r1 ~x86' /etc/portage/package.keywords Assuming your running x86 of course, otherwise replace ~x86 with the appropiate value for your arch.

I don't have the specific versions that were failing for me, as I'm not at home right now, but as I mentioned there was a thread on this recently, here are some quotes from that thread: OP: I can't find out what I'm doing wrong. I have a nvidia card (GeForce FX 5200) and I managed to launch the X server with the nv driver. When I try to use the nvidia driver, the server aborts, complaining about not finding a usable screen section. The following file is the one that works (with nv). To try nvidia, I made two changes: Load glx (instead of dri) and nvidia (as driver) instead of nv. Something is missing... (Didn't change identifiers and such.) I emerged nvidia/kernel and nvidia-glx for good measure, issued modprobe nvidia, modules-update, openglx-update nvidia... Kernel is 2.6.13-gentoo-r3.

I emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 and it works now. Comment from list member: One thing to check is do you have any /dev/nv* devices? There was a thread in the forums on this which has a script for recreating them and another thread on this list in which I posted it. Reply by OP: That was it. I found the thread, that's why I emerged the masked versions of the driver (see my reply to myself). BTW: the suggestion to put the script in /etc/conf.d/local.start seems somewhat strange: doesn't /etc/init.d/local get executed after all other scripts in the default runlevel? Doesn't this mean that the script would be started _after_ the X server? *** Maybe this isn't the problem in this specific case, I don't know, but it's possible that it is. I don't remember whether or not the OP in this case specified whether or not the configuration was working with the default nv driver or not, that should be the first step in troubleshooting this. Once the nv driver works with the configuration, if the nvidia driver does not, that's a resonable indication that there is something wrong with the nvidia module.

I think it's also kernel version related, as I had no problems using the stable version of the nvidia kernel with the 2.6.12 gentoo kernel, but then I did a completely fresh install and got a 2.6.13 kernel which exibited the described problem with the stable version of nvidia.

It's kernel related. 2.6.13 doesn't create the nvidia devicess correctly with udev, which with 2.6.13 is default.

Strange. I tried 7174 and down without success. Every time i had to use the script showed. I have to use 7667 or above with 2.6.13 in order to have nodes working correctly. It may also depend on xorg version. Greetings!

I had RC_DEVICE_TARBALL=yes. And from the comments, a few ways to possibly fix the problem: a) set RC_DEVICE_TARBALL=yes, then run /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh once. or b) add code if [ ! -e /dev/nvidia0 ]; then /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh fi /code to your /etc/conf.d/local.start -- Joe -- There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.
