|
|
Ok, I know this topic has been beat to death on these forums, but none of the topics I found covered my problem.
Here's the scoop:
Recompiled kernel
emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx
depmod -a
modprobe NVdriver
NVdriver not found.
yaa!
It compiled fine, it's in /lib/modules/2.4.18-xfs/kernel/video along with all it's other friends.
Any ideas? |

Could you please emerge dev-util/strace (if it isn't already), and post the results of:
Code: | # strace -eopen -f modprobe NVdriver |
and

Yeah it sounds like your running kernel is not matched to your driver location. _________________ This message self destructed a long time ago. |

strace output:
Code: |
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) =3
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/modules.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r5/modules.dep"), O_RDONLY =3
modprobe: Can't locate module NVdriver
|
uname -r output:
So that pretty much confirms it. emerge nvidia-kernel is putting the module in /lib/modules/2.4.18-xfs, and everything seems to be looking in 2.4.19-gentoo-r5. I guess the question is, how the heck did that happen? All I did was emerge 2.4.19-xfs, then compile... And the bigger question is, how do I fix it?
Thanks!
ps. that strace is awesome. I'm glad i know about it now! |

OT: If you ever have to do anything like that on Windows, there's FileMon and RegMon, both of which I have found incredibly useful. _________________ I don't believe in witty sigs. |

Oh boy I feel dumb. Who woulda thought that replacing /boot/bzImage does squat all.
<sigh>
Pardon me for my ignorance.
At least I learned about strace |
