these are erros whitch i got from the nvidia installator
| Code: |
No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
|
and after it try to build kernell on itself
| Code: |
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
make: *** [module] Error 2
-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

That is not the way. You must first compile the kernel, make /usr/src/linux point to its source directory and then "emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx" . I usually compile the new kernel, change /use/src/linux symlinc, reboot with that kernel and then emerge both packages, so I don't know if you should reboot before emerging or you can do it with the old kernel running. |

| You should have no problem compiling and installing everything while using the "old" kernel. |
