Sorry was in a bit of a hurry when I wrote it (as well as getting rather frustrated). What I have done is install debian (2.6.11 base kerneL) I then upgraded the kernel to 2.6.11-amd64-k8-smp which is a x86_64 arch kernel so it does both 32 and 64 bit stuff ( I believe). My problem is that when I download the nvidia-kernel-drivers package and try a make-kpkg module against it it barfs saying something about 32 kernel mode - when I say this previously I found I had to change the gcc swith -m to -m64 (for the kernel), but this just causes more problems for the nvidia stuff. I went to the extreme of just getting the file from the web site (nvidia) and ran the installer for 64 bit verions but again I ran into the same problem 8( so I am thinking to move back to the 32bit smp kernel and get the nvidia drivers working and then do some more investigating 8) I was hoping that somebody would have seen this problem before > > Cheers, > > Scott > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html >
