 |
|
Hi, it's my first time setting up Gentoo, and everything went fine until I tried to install x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. The installation halts, because Module.symvers file was not found
| Code: |
'/usr/src/linux/Module.symvers' was not found implying that the
* linux-6.12.16-gentoo tree at that location has not been built.
*
* Please verify that this is the intended kernel version, then perform
* a full build[1] (i.e. make && make modules_install && make install).
|
The answer I found is to rebuild the kernel, but I have already built it during installation according to the handbook using distribution kernels. Is it really necessary?
| Code: |
gentoohost / # uname -a
Linux gentoohost 6.12.16-gentoo-dist #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Mar 22 03:02:40 CET 2025 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Maybe /usr/src/linux does not point to the correct directory.
What is the output of
| Code: |
eselect kernel list
readlink -f /usr/src/linux
|
[/code] |
