 |
|
I've googled the following error, I haven't found anything which helps me. I've also tried running the command given in the error, it didn't help. How can I get this to work. I've also looked at the handbook on installing proprietary nvidia drivers. The proper modules aren't compiled. I have the genkernel and I'm pretty sure eselect kernel is pointing at the right one. I'm kinda stuck.

when you run "eselect kernel list" what do you get
In my case:
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7 *
[2] linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5
which means that /usr/src/linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7 is linked to /usr/src/linux
which is what your error message was referencing (/usr/src/linux)

This is what I have.
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r4
[2] linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5 *
What should I do though? |

Do you have /usr/src/linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5/include/linux/autoconf.h
or /usr/src/linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5/include/config/auto.conf
Have you created a kernel from those sources?
What does "uname -a" return?

Both files are in the respective folders. I think I've created a kernel (first time with gentoo, still trying to figure out how it all works). At the moment I'm chrooted into my installation, I can't reboot right at the moment.
I checked the menu.lst and it's pointing to the boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.30-gentoo-r4. That might be the problem. I'll be able to reboot in 30 min. |

reboot and do a "uname -a" and the symlink /usr/src/linux should be pointing to the correct kernel version

Alright did that, noticed the kernel I'm booting is not the one linked. I changed the symlink emerged the drivers loaded the module and startx actually almost works. Mouse and keyboard aren't working in gnome though. Gonna have a look around and see if I can find anything, if not I'll start a new thread thanx for the help. |

nvidia-drivers has always given this message:

I have no idea why this message is issued and don't care, because nvidia-drivers does compile and works fine.
In your original post you say

Are you sure it didn't compile? You can look in /var/log/portage and find the emerge log for nvidia-drivers. It will look something like
| Code: | | x11-drivers:nvidia-drivers-180.60:20091009-212201.log |
There will be a couple of them. Find the one that has that error message in it. It is a fairly big file. For me it is 29K. Look through the file and see if you can find other errors other than the one about the headers.

Well I think I also got the failure this time, but this time the nvidia module was there and I was able to modprobe it, which I wasn't able to do before. |

Glad it's working (to the extent it is) 
for mouse and keyboard, hal should be started
do "rc-status" and you should see "hald" started
if not "/etc/init.d/hald start" will start it (be root)

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here
